I like it, and since Lancia and Chrysler are now one in the same, this may make it here.


Looks very upscale and interesting.

The front looks kind of bland aside from the odd looking grill and the back is just weird.

I like the way it looks, it has a lot of shapes and lines that flow into one another. It's very interesting, without being boring and predictable or overdone and super ugly like many new designs.


I think it would make a nice little B-segment to slot at the bottom of Chrysler's range.

That shifter knob -- did they steal it from an '80s Volvo?

The way the shift boot doesn't touch the knob is irritating as well.

There are plenty of upscale small hatches in Europe. Heck, this in the MiTo are roughly the same size.

If we're being honest, this is proof that Lancia is as unimaginative as the rest of the European manufacturers. What a clumsy, needlessly-fiddly Euro-typical design.

Looks pretty decent actually. Compared to its current European competitors this looks pretty upscale (out of their league!). Interior looks good from a design and possibly material point of view (can't really tell from the photos).

I like it.  It's not a bland carbon-copy of a hundred other cars out there.  In a world where most cars try to look like nothing, here's a car that is at least trying to look like something.  Slap a Chrysler badge on it and bring it over....NOW!

I was thinking the grille looked aufully Chrysler and not much Lancia when I saw the first pic, then I scrolled down and saw the rest of the Chry... er, Lancias. ;)

It's not bad as far as the segment goes. But I'd rather have a Thema... (Wonder how the European market will take to that Thema...)
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

I think it makes it cheaper for them to develop LHD and RHD models for different markets.
