a whiff of knee, a glimpse of arse. That's about it.

At least car companies have ditched the, seemingly unending teaser reveal campaigns.

Murray's car out next week and Lancia mid April and Lambo's new monster seems to have just arrived out of nowhere, except an article about the new tub.

Can't wait for it to be a "stunning" new EV-SUV-Coupe like the new Ford Capri which was just announced.

It's almost like the only people who can afford these new EVs are people who are old enough to fondly remember the cars which initially bore the nameplate.

Whatever it is I'm sure it will be disappointing.
I'm of the age, where a Capri 1.6 Laser, was my 2nd car as a sprightly 18 year old, so have very fond memories. I loved my Capri. Never, and I mean NEVER, will a buy a Capri ever again unless it is a 2 door coupe. I'm 50 now, so not against a more family friendly car, but I will not buy a family friendly car if it is called a Capri. Just like I would not consider that Mustang EV thing.

It's either yet another crossover or yet another multi-million pound limited-edition hypercar. If it was anything actually interesting, they'd let us see it.

I do love a Lancia...had a couple of Beta Coupes in the early 80's...
This new teaser of a an earlier legend could be rather interesting..
Fingers crossed for the full reveal.... wink

I'd rather they offered us an updated Fulvia.
That really was the prettiest car from the Lancia back-catalogue.
And, there was a hint that was going to be revisited a few years ago, but sadly nothing ever came of it.

1995 called. It wants it's cliché back.

Saw the headline, got excited, yeah a new Stratos homage. Can’t go wrong, but they won’t let us see it. Yet.

In all honesty they must have made a marketing decision specifically *not* to go down the retro route for their EV. I mean obviously the retro route has worked out really badly for the Mini, Fiat 500, Honda e, soon to be Renault 5... scratchchin

It's almost like they understand marketing & PR.
