Lancia Thesis

[LotusGT1]

On that Geneva automobile salon presents Lancia under the name Thesis the
successor of the Kappa. The naming with Greek letters and terms has tradition with
Lancia. Thesis is a mountain reef from the old-Greek Lyrik. Stilistisch follows the Thesis
the Design study Dialogos and the Jubileo. While the Dialogos represents the future
study of a luxuorioesen upper class sedan, the Jubileo is a one-off production, which
developed Lancia especially for Pope Johannes Paul II. That scarcely five meters long
Thesis carries in front a radiator grille with classical seeming and is in the interior more
luxury to offer clearly than the predecessor Kappa. The Thesis has front wheel drive
and first with three petrol engines will be available. Later two Common Rail Diesels are
to follow, among them a Dreiliter-V6 von Isuzu.

ummm.... I cant see the pictures

[Stefanel1]

neither do I... but this is a pic of the Thésis. I like it, what do you think about this new car ?

[La Temperanza]

Not bad... looks sort of like a VW Passat to me.

[Stefanel1]

A passat ?... heum, why not. I think it's less classic than a Passat, especialy the front (pic).
You've an Odyssey ? I saw this car last year in the US, nice van.

[Jimster]

I drive a Thesis a fair bit- I almost throw up when I see how ugly they are- but they are so damned relax you soon forgive its ugliness

[Stefanel1]

It's very original, but not ugly ! ... I prefer a Thésis to 4 Stilo Arbarth

[Jimster]

Ugliness is an opinion



However it is all forgivable in the fact that it is great to drive

[Stefanel1]

Of course, it's your opinion... not mine
Seriously, of course I don't judge your opinion. You don't like the design.

1. It's Lancia- it is the luxury wing of FIAT- the underdog of FIAT/Alfa Romeo (Except for the long dead Intergale Delta Evo)

2. You have heard of Dacia (Crappy Romanian brand) but not Lancia (Well known Itallian prestige brand)

[Stefanel1]

Ce mai faci ?

Dacia is Romanian and of course Lancia is well known in the world or at least in Europe.
The Delta Integrale is indeed one of the most famous Lancia, as known as a Subaru Impreza in Rally. It won many Monte Carlo rallies.

look : http://www.lancia.it and http://lancia.free.fr

pah! a s*baru impr*za doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as a Lancia Integrale EVO. a soul-less japanese tin-box against the most successful rally car of all time... what the hell is a lancia, pah!

[Stefanel1]

Indeed the Impreza is not as excellent as the Delta

Apparently it's very hard maintaining a Lancia thread in a mostly US/UK internet world....

It has been 10 years since they pulled out of the UK market and 21 since they said goodbye to the US. Luckily they still sell in The Rest Of The World though.

Street version of the Lancia Stratos just to keep things warm.......
