Last night we got a tidal wave of plans of Fiat and Chrysler flagship Alfa and Maserati on us, but is also noticed which brand between all slides sparkled in absence? Understand, Lancia.

Perhaps it is mustard after the meal, everyone with a little sense in his easter egg already knew, however, that the position of Lancia after the last cheap rebadgepoging at the dead was written down.
