Lancia Lybra

crayzayjay · 11-04-2001, 11:08 AM

The Lancia Lybra is Lancia's current medium segment car. We don't get them over here in the UK (which is a shame, way too many trashy Mondeos and Vectras running around

! We could certainly do with this great alternative). It's a modern, sophisticated, stylish (IMHO

) car, with a wide range of engines and good handling.

cheers

Very nice interior, too

Well it certainly looks interesting, but rather ergonomically incorrect

Is it based arond the Alfa Romeo 156????

What do you mean by ergonomically incorrect?

The chassis is basically a heavily revised 156 floorpan with a small amount of rear steer, to answer your q.

Nice car but too classical. Hope the future Y will not be so classic in order to be sell. If the Y won't, Lancia could banquerouted

The Y will be a very important car for Lancia. I hope Fiat have the common sense not to let this great marque die

I really hope too.
Forza Italia !

e vivo el mondo !

I just remembered reading that the new "Y" will have the same kind of style as the Thesis, only smaller of course, so it will be quite "classic" in appearance.
The praised Thesis has had a lot of electronic problems that delayed its sale. Fiat and Lancia need to get their act together! I dont think Lancia will die because in effect FIAT gets extra earnings from Lancias built on existing FIAT platforms. The only problem is the image of Lancia, which needs to be quickly resolved!

Stefanel1 · 10-20-2002, 09:26 AM

Of course the image of a make is very important. And Lancia has the same image as Alfa in the early 90's... but now, Alfa has a very good image, hope that Lancia will take the same way.

That makes two of us

Stefanel1 · 10-20-2002, 05:49 PM

Harrison Ford (Yes, Ford... for Lancia !!) made an advertising for the Lancia Lybra (with a bonzaï !) but it didn't help the sales !
I think you didn't see it because Lancia isn't sold any more in England, alas !

crayzayjay · 10-21-2002, 07:13 AM

with a bonzaï ? what do you mean??

Stefanel1 · 10-22-2002, 08:51 AM

In the adv, Harrisson Ford has a bonzaï which is going to die. He takes the bonzaï in the Lancia and drive. Then, when he arrives, he takes the bonzaï off the car and it made a little green leaf

crayzayjay · 10-24-2002, 09:43 AM

ahh, a bonzai tree, i thought so... sounds like a pretty funny ad

Is the Lybra selling well in France, btw?

Stefanel1 · 10-24-2002, 03:06 PM

In June 2001, there was 1400 Lancia (a little bit more than Mazdas for example) sold in France, and 50% were Lybra. But it's nothing compare to the 100 000 Citroëns, 150 000 Peugeots, 200 000 Renaults and 55 000 VW, the 4 first sellers in France.
BMW sold 15 000 cars in France in March 2002.
Hope that the Thésis and Phédra will made good sales. The Thésis has though good articles in press.
