Does this mean the current European Lancia range will be available in the UK? They make some really good looking cars.

Chrysler 300C - Chrysler Lancia - Avant

I think I read somewhere that the Chrysler name would continue in the UK and Ireland, where Lancias aren't sold.

Fiat stopped selling Lancias here after the problems with the Beta (rust) and Gamma (undesirability). The Delta had a following, especially the Integrale, but it was never a mass seller. I believe the only Lancia which was really popular over here was the late 1930s Aprilia, which seems to have been a lovely car well ahead of its time..

I believe the Delta will be sold here as a Chrysler. Apparently real Lancia afficianados will be changing the grille and badges for Lancia ones.
