Dodge are set to replace the Caliber with the resurrected Dart, a reskinned Giulietta so with Lancia becoming Chrysler in the UK, will we get this? It looks better than the Alfa if you ask me....(from what I can see - if you like the Charger styling cues obviously)

Amazing isn't it, how the new Lancias are branded as Chrysler, presumably because of Lancias poor reputation when they were last in the UK. Yet just this morning when I drove past the Chrysler dealer, I though I'd much rather have a Delta or Ypsilon with the original Lancia branding than as a Chrsyler.

Cut price Guilietta sounds good though.

Front looks a little like the Scirocco.

Rear looks great, but not so keen on the front grill/ light interface. Looks a bit like what BMW have done on the new 3 series.

I really like this new bout of platform sharing which has been enabled by Fiat buying the Chrysler group smile Now if only Dodge were to start selling the new Charger here (or even if we got a new big Charger based RWD Alfa)...

I've also just noticed that iy you sprayed that wide vertical strip adjacent to the grille in body colour, it would make a nice foil to the face of my Mustang.

Come on Dodge, we'll take this one...and the Charger as the 300C is a bit old hat now.

Gives me no pleasure to say this, but it won't be hard to produce a better looking car than that bland blob that is the Alfa
