Default I would sooo love the new Lancia Fulvia

Was gonna ask this question ages ago, but the old grey matter packed up for a while and i forgot....

I used to love the original Lancia Flavia from the 70's and now I see they are re-releasing the car again. It looks pretty similar to the old car with some nice new touches making it very retro looking. The engine looks pretty tame but I really like the look of it. Anyone else got any opinions on it, or know if its gonna be launched and when?

Saw the article in EVO and it looks a bit soft in general..

Nice looking car but it just sort of washed over me and left no residual effect ....bit like a Dido or Morcheeba album

I did start by calling it the fulvia then changed it to flavia lol

I quite liked the look of it....Its only looking to be around £15K I think, which looked good for the money

They wont make it, actually looking at whats happening, neither will the company itself.

The problem is Fiat want Lancia to be their Luxury end of their portfolio of car manufacturing not the sporty side that they should be and unfortunately their facing the likes of BMW and Audi in the luxury department so Lancia is gonna struggle!

redevo is right.

Clearly the top and bottom ranges are easily defined. Fiat - cheap euroboxes. Ferrari - flashy top end performance flagships.

In the middle you have Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Maserati. Maserati - sporting luxury. Alfa - cheaper sporting with luxurious options. Lancia?

Out of the lot of them, Lancia have the best pedigree, but are in danger of being wiped out completely.
