:eek::eek:

I'm just wondering are you looking a different car from the one that you posted there as that excuse for a car is absolutely and utterly revolting..........imo

I like the front, but the back doesn't do much for me.

Is it not an Alfa Mito underneath anyway?

At Geneva, Lancia will also show a rebadged version of the Chrysler 200 saloon, badged Flavia, and its version of the 300C, the new Thema

@ R.O.R - I think it's based on a lengthened FIAT 500

Typical Irish reaction to this thread so far. If it's not bland and doesn't blend in like a VW or Skoda then it must be ugly.

Just because it's not bland doesn't mean it looks good.

The proportions look out of place to me - the front grille is too big. The swoopy lines across the rear end just look wrong. It might look better in the flesh, but I won't hold my breadth.

Looks kinda Alfa like specially the front and with the way the rear door handles are done, with a Ford Fiesta boot look to it.
It sure is different!

Well it's being praised for its looks on all the UK motoring forums as we speak, so I reckon you must be a conservative bunch.

I'm really looking forward to this FIAT/Chrysler alliance and the products it brings to our shores.

I personally think this is lovely and hope we get it in some shape or form:



I actually saw a few the last time I was in Italy and thought they looked very elegant.

I think it likes quite funky, i see it'll be coming with the 0.9-litre TwinAir engine. That should be interesting at least. I have to say i'm not a fan of the colours in those pics. Perhaps red would be better?

I kinda like Lancias, I also like this one.

Still would never buy it though ...I mean "Chrysler" ...what were they thinking?

Not normally a badge snob but in this case ...sacriledge, absolute sacriledge.

A "legthened Fiat 500" is a Panda, seeing as the 500 is a shortened Panda...

It's quite pretty for a modern Lancia. I'd like to see the Lancia badge on it here though.

It would need to look like this so the local public can have some orgasm. :pac:

Meself and a gang of lads hired 4 of them on a ski triop to sauxe d'oulx.

With 4 up and a heap of luggage,skis,boots etc,it was able to go off the clock

That was with the 75 bhp 1.3 diesel:eek:

Looks like a 1.4 turbo multiair will fit under that bonnet:D

Toyota can make even th ugliest of shitboxes and people will sill buy them. fairplay to Lancia for taking a gamble on a no so obvious front end design.

I'd drive one. I think it's class and it's a shame that Lancia haven't produced a RHD car now for over 15 years.
