Chronology
PredecessorAlfa Romeo 166

The Alfa Romeo 169 (internal name Progetto 941[1]) is the purported name of the executive car that is expected to be the replacement for the long running Alfa Romeo 166, which was discontinued in 2007.

Originally planned to be launched in 2008,[2] it has been continually pushed back due to different problems. At the launch of the Alfa Romeo MiTo on June 19, 2008, Alfa's CEO Luca De Meo revealed that while the Alfa Romeo 169 was definitely going to be made, development had to be pushed back a year while a suitable FR platform was sourced.[3]

The 169 was not present in Fiat Group Automobiles product plan for 2010–2014,[4] despite the claims of Fiat and Chrysler CEO, Sergio Marchionne, of Fiat S.p.A.'s aim to make Alfa Romeo a true full-line car maker.[5] The 169 was again present in product plan for 2010-2014 presented by Fiat S.p.A in 14 September 2011, now the start date as late 2014.[6]
