Alfa Romeo->ke1386 fans in the US have a lot to be excited about because the long-awaited return of the Italian brand in American soil is drawing closer and closer.

Now, according to Autobild, the stage for Alfa's return to America could take place at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Autobild is also reporting that Alfa Romeo is intent on bringing at least five models to the 2013 NAIAS, highlighted by the drop-dead gorgeous 4C GTA Concept.

Together with the 4C GTA, other Alfa Romeo models expected to join in the US invasion include the Giulia, the Giulietta->ke3589, the five-door MiTo->ke3111, and a still unidentified Jeep->ke40-based crossover.

We've all anxiously waited a long time for Alfa Romeo to return to our neck of the woods and it certainly hasn't come with some impatience. But now that it's beginning to look like the Italian brand is in fact US-bound after years and years of absence, that impatience and anxiety is slowly becoming excitement and eager anticipation.
