Antonio Baravalle, the main man at Alfa Romeo for the past eight years, has just stepped down as CEO of the automaker. Apparently, according to Automotive News this was his own choice. Yeah, well, we're buying that one — but only because Alfa didn't have a press release all set to go with a choice for a new boss. However, we feel like that also means he didn't so much tell them about it first. But what's this mean for the automaker's coming jump back into the US marketplace? Who knows. [via Automotive News]
