When did Alfa Romeo die?

[Schnellmann]

Although Alfa still exists as a brand I'm not convinced that they really exist as a marque (seem like rebadged Fiats to me). Perhaps they can be resurrected but I'm not sure - might produce good cars but will they really be Alfas?

If one accepts the argument that Alfa as a marque doesn't really exist now, when did they die?

Although not all the models use Fiat platforms I suspect that there is a lot of Fiat DNA in them and had they been launched as Fiats would anyone have said "but that is an Alfa!"

Motivation is only regret that once great marques like Alfa and Lancia seem to have disappeared or been so diluted.
