By the Greeks, I mean Magna Grecia, the Greek colonies in Italy.
The Etruscans would likely remain a regional power. In order for them to be a real force, one of the city-states would have to unite all the others and create a single Etruscan nation. Veii, Clusium, and Perusia are all possibilities.
And yes, they would be in conflict almost constantly. Samnites, Latins, Ligures, Sabines, Senones, not to mention the Greeks and Carthaginians.
If the Etruscans could keep control of Corsica after the Battle of Alalia and not allow it to be absorbed by the Carthaginians, that might bring interesting consequences as far as an Etruscan navy.
How about... an 'etrucised' gaul nation, conquering it, and turning southward...
Good sir, have you been reading my timeline? It basically does what you just described.
