New Ypsilon
|
The more pictures of the new Ypsilon are released, we must admit that the overall design seems very accomplish. We do obviously need to wait patiently to see it in the flesh but even the front grille, does start to make a little more sense.

The new interior for the Thema must have been the real focus of this rebadging exercise. American cars, Chrysler included, are renowned for their poor quality interior. For Lancia to use the Chrysler 300 as a credible alternative, loads of re-work had to be done to the dash, layout and material used. Judging from the latest pictures, we believe they have managed to do graft a little of the Lancia world inside the oversized American car.

The leather, Poltrona Frau it seems, real wood inserts, quality plastics and overall layout certainly gives a very good impression overall albeit lacking some originality.

This new joint-venture is certainly taking Lancia to new unchartered waters and only time will tell whether this was the right strategy to keep Lancia alive.
Enjoy a few more pics...
