Nowadays, automotive producers are looking to cover every possible segment of the market that could bring profit, but this doesn't mean that every brand brand will be represented in all segments, as there are limitations introduced by funding and sister companies.
We shall focus on Alfa Romeo for this piece of news, as it seems that the company has axed its SUV plans, and will develop a rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan instead.

According to autocar, Alfa's flagship sedan will be underpinned by the next generation Chrysler 300 platform. The vehicle will be aimed at the premium market, as Alfa plans to enhance its market image.

The vehicle could use the 169 designation, thus becoming a spiritual successor for the Alfa Romeo 166. The car could be built in the US and is expected to come to the market in 2014.
