http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpr..._of_honour.html Its 13 years since Lancia stopped trading in the UK, they are set to make a return. Though a popular shape with what for the time was good performance and handling, the rust and reliability let them down.................thats all been fixed and Lancia are reintroducing the brand. I think they might pull this one off. Skoda was a really bad car and yet now new drivers dont know what us late 80's lads are talking about. Lancia had the appeal but the build quality let it down, as Clarkson would say "like dating a good looking tart. You dont think with your head"

I think your photos are the wrong was around <edit> corrected now <thumbs> </edit>I don't like them changing the badge... bad move IMO They are a spent force even in Italy... traditionally more upmarket and sporty than FIAT their absence from the UK allowed Alfa Romeo to fill that slot... I'd be surprised if it works... Lancia back in the UK I mean |

Lancias are just re-badged Fiats now, there's nothing exciting about their line up. Which is why they will only get anywhere if they release a completely bonkers hot hatch (the first of the hot hatches?) i.e. the Integrale. or a mad Supercar like the Stratos. |

I want to see a new Ferrari-engined saloon, a new 037 and a new sportscar project to carry on from the LC1 and LC2! I fear I may be disappointed though... |
