Fiat's CEO Sergio Marchionne was reported earlier on that he the Lancia Thesis were likely to go under axe for poor sales.However, as if he were too busy to follow up, the Thesis was still undergoing production. Now, with even market leaders in this segment were suffering sales, one can easily figure how well will Lancia do in these times.
Honestly speaking, Lancia had its charms, perhaps the heritage, the amazing 037 and Integrale rally cars. But not with whatever they have currently in their line up.
It's not so much on built quality or handling dynamics or the lack of passion in their creations. But the donkey-like stubbornness of the Italians in their styling. It's as if the Mitsuoka of Europe, wanting to be different by going the short-cut route = Being extremely out of proportion and ugly.
