We have some good news for the U.S. buyers who loved the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept as the Sergio Marchionne, CEO of the Italian carmaker, claimed that the production variant will arrive in the States in 2013.

It remains to be seen if the company will retain all the styling features of the concept model, a prototype seen at the Geneva Motor Show last year.

Even the company previously said that the new 4C will be delayed, Marchionne’s latest declarations let us hope that the Italian carmaker will make the comeback in the States this year.
