Title: Lancia sells more more cars than Alfa Romeo in Europe!
Post by: Rob on 22 August, 2019, 03:50:36 PM
Just read on Carscoops that Lancia has sold more cars than Alfa Romeo in Europe even though Lancia only has only one model  in it's line up :o. Maybe there's life in Lancia yet!

Hi read that too, but much as I'd like to see it, I think there would be too many red faces at FCA.
At least the chief architect of the hate Lancia policy is no longer around to stick his oar in, although probably enough bean counters to last another 1000 years.

I'd imagine there already are a few red faces at FCA after all the money they have spent in recent years on new models for Alfa Romeo & Lancia beats them with one oldish model. Viva Lancia! :D

I had heard that due to the strong sales and feelings in Italy FCA are considering replacing the Ypsilon, possibly to include an electric option. Don't think I imagined it....

I had to look to know which is the one they still make / badge.  If I had to guess I'd have said the big MPV as that's the one I see most of.
