Hmmm, I don't think so... that would be like selling a Jaguar as an MG -- a
serious case of down-marketing. Perhaps you are thinking of when the FIAT
124 Spyder was marketed under the Bertone brand, and I may have a vague
recollection of the Alfa being marketed as a Pininfarina... Certainly they
could have been sold at the same dealer, and I won't deny there were some
desperate measures undertaken by the US importers.
