Lancia published the first official pictures of the interior of the sedan Thema.
As is known, this is a version of the Chrysler 300C logo on the grille and Lancia. As with the appearance and the interior are no major differences between versions of Lancia and Chrysler.

Different materials, lighter skin, different parts of the tree, it is limited differences. Both versions retain the analog clock in the upper center console and a bright blue color of the instrument dials.

The new Lancia Thema is cause, perhaps in a less negative than the Flavia, but she did talk, that's for sure. Fiat has absorbed Chrysler has decided to merge with minima by changing only the grilles, or substantially all of its common models. So goes the Lancia Thema, which is nothing other than a Chrysler 300C and very honestly, do not hide it in his first commercial.




This commercial also expresses very well this transparency by showing historical justification, not a "real " Lancia Thema (admittedly much less selling) but a Chrysler C-300 of the 50s (the first that appears in the background) before Lancia Flaminia 50s.

Under the guise of Lancia Thema hiding the last generation of the Chrysler 300 sedan. Find differences in the exterior of the two cars - not an easy task.

Expected for almost three years, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Lancia Y that the Italian brand has decided to unveil its next-generation Ypsilon. The old style was shifted to its strength but did it with its egg-shaped profile does not appeal. Despite the fact that she is a 5-door, which is really new, the rest of Ypsilon very compact size since it measures only 3.89 m, which is significantly below the threshold of 4 meters.

var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true}; The upcoming 2011 Geneva Salon will probably be the most important motor show in Lancia’s recent history, as the Italian brand is trying to start off its revitalization plan with a push of new models. However, the recently unveiled Flavia and Thema sedans and Grand Voyager MPV didn’t quite catch the public’s eye due to the fact that they’

There was about it last in 1994 in the program of the brand. The built since 1984, car, said at that time the base to the Saab 9000, Fiat Croma and the Alfa Romeo to the 164th And the new theme is not just a Lancia design: It is actually a Chrysler 300 in the Italian-style. This is also on the engines: a 3.6-liter V6 with 292 hp mark the top. Add to that a three-liter V6 turbo diesel comes in wattages of 190 and 224 hp. Chrysler used in the V8 is not accepted. Presumably, this engine would be too American. The subject will start in Europe in October 2011.

Lancia Grand Voyager
When Phedra successor Grand Voyager, the Italians did not even try to find a new name for Lancia. The van is also the theme used in the 3.6-liter V6 gasoline-powered, either by a 2.8-liter turbo diesel that makes 163 hp.

Lancia Flavia
Even going back to 1970, one must if one wants to find a model in the range of Flavia Lancia. As a concept called, are issued in Geneva vehicles - a midsize sedan and its convertible offshoot - according to the manufacturer's production-ready within six months. This is because the base car is an existing Chrysler model: the 200th

The new Ypsilon has a length of 3840 mm and a hatchback with five doors and very dynamic and good looking design.


The car is assembled on the platform of the Fiat 500, but the distance between the axes of the Ypsilon is 300 mm longer than that of the small Fiat. The space behind is much broader than that at 500, as technology thin seats of Fiat will be used for the first time and Ypsilon, as it releases yet more space in the cabin.

The new generation of Lancia Ypsilon will be available in Europe with three engines - gasoline volume 1.2 liters diesel with a volume of 1.3 liters and the turbo from a family with TwinAir volume 900 cm3. Diesel and TwinAir promise of emissions below 100 g / km.

Following CEO Sergio Marchionne's comments at the 2010 Paris Motor Show (see here), Autonews Europe has uncovered new information regarding the Fiat Group's future product launches.

One of Fiat's most important models in Europe, the third generation Panda, was originally due in summer 2010 but its launch had already been pushed back to September 2011. Now, sources inside the company told the news site that the introduction of the small five-door hatchback will be further delayed until January 2012.

The third generation Lancia Ypsilon supermini has also been delayed more than two years, as have the replacements for the Fiat Idea / Lancia Musa small MPV twins and the Fiat Multipla 3+3 seater people carrier, which has been in production since 1998. The latter two launches were scheduled for December 2011 but have now been postponed until the second half of 2012.

Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne froze his company's spending in 2008 as the financial crisis hit Europe. Spending was set to return to normal this year, but has now been postponed indefinitely in light of what Marchionne perceives as an unimproved European new car market.

He now predicts a weaker Q1 2011 than Q1 2010, due to the ending of scrappage schemes in many European countries. The rest of 2011 is expected to be no better sale wise for Fiat, Marchionne predicts.

Analysts are predicting that Fiat's new car sales are likely to continue to decline without any new products; sales in Europe fell 13.9% to 723,356 vehicles in the first eight months of 2011 in a market that declined only 3.5%, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA).

Stuart Pearson, an auto analyst at Morgan Stanley in London, says: "Fiat is playing a dangerous game and by delaying key models risks missing any European Union recovery if they are wrong on the timing. Customers are only paying for brand new metal."

The report did not mention any plans on future Alfa Romeo cars.

______________GALLERY - CURRENT GENERATION MODELS______________

Fiat has addressed a question at least a few people were asking this year in Paris, explaining its lack of significant presence at this year's Paris Motor Show. According to CEO Sergio Marchionne, Fiat has been building up steam, waiting to release new product until late next year in order to better balance the brand's many companies' funds.

"We have saved ammunition awaiting for the recovery," Sergio Marchionne told journalists on the sidelines of the Paris Auto Show. "New models will arrive at the end of 2011, early 2012. Launching new products in a market that is so structurally weak has no sense," Marchionne added.

Hopefully between now and then we'll at least get a few hints at what Fiat will offer in the form of some sexy new concepts.

Other than waiting for that to happen, expect the super-sized Italian automaker to be concentrating on the Chrysler/Lancia revamp as well as trying to acquaint people in the States with the 500 mini and, hopefully, a new type of Fiat.

Expect more news on Fiat's product plans as it becomes available.
