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

Lancia has been unable to build good looking cars for a while.
Handsome outside - very handsome inside. Hmm...
The front looks kind of bland aside from the odd looking grill and the back is just weird.
Look Chinese as all hell IMO.
For some reason the white one kind of reminds me of Marvin the robot from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Just threw up in my mouth
*gag*
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.
I think it looks terrible.

It's hideous.
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.
Looks like they put wire wheels on a Little Tykes car
Cimarron me once, shame on you.
Cimarron me twice, shame on the human race.

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

I thought Oldsmobiles were built for the human race. :huh:
I want to like it, because it's a Lancia, but, uh... :huh:
Lol @ Cimarron me once and twice. I don't care, that was funny

I'm laughing on the inside.

It's probably a pull up ring to get into reverse.
Why must automakers insist on putting the gauges int he middle of the dash?
I'm still trying to figure out why we don't have the Chrysler Delta yet.
Here's the rest of the "new" Lancia range (Chrysler in the UK):

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).

:hesaid:
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...)

I think it makes it cheaper for them to develop LHD and RHD models for different markets.
The Thema looks great. :lol:
I wonder if they get different taillights?
Perhaps there needs to be a new Thema 8.32 with the Italia's 4.5 V8.
And to think this model used to be called Y10, it was a very popular car in Italy and was build by Autobianchi, untill FIAT bought them, I believe earlier in this decade, and continued making them under the Lancia brand.
