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. Translation from Babelfish

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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....... |
