That argument was still being used 20 years ago, yet they still came up with the Fiat Coupe which in many ways (20vt at least) could be regarded as "more sporting" than the Alfa GTV. If they really wanted to make another "outside the box" sporting Fiat I'm sure they could make it happen, it just needs the right mix of decision-making designers and engineers within the larger Fiat organisation... And there have been attempts to come up with recent retro Fulvia and Stratos models of course

Fiat took over Lancia in '69 so the Fulvia was really the last all Lancia Lancia. The metal was still fairly cheesey though even back then.......

There has been great cars built by lancia under fiat ownership granted but there also responsible for were it is today.lancia is remembered for rust buckets but so is fiat remember the strada,131,x19.Fiat need to let lancia go before they kill it of The thing with the above mentioned "classics" is that they're remembered by the masses as cheap, fun little cars. Whether or not they are is debatable. Lancia on the other hand are remembered for rust...
IMO Fiat need to keep control of the name until they have something like a Stratos that'll be class beating.

Strada was not a bad car even the base models they certainly did not rust like lancia and no worse than ford .Beta was the worse followed by the early deltas .

Ask anybody about a fiat strada and there reply would be rust bucket they certainly were no better than early deltas.I personally have had a strada 105tc and belive me you had to battle rust.I have viewed 4 strada 130tc abarths years ago trying to buy one and belive me these cars rust very badly I could not find a good one

Surely that other great Coupé, the Suzuki X90, should join them at the top? I saw one of those on the Kingsway last week. Driven by a man

Mind you, for Dundee, that's probably a handsome woman
