Not unexpected, & not the last to die either.

Looking at the comments on that though, the context is basically "rebadged Chryslers only" rather than complete shutdown apparently?

Either way, its always been on the cards that Alfa and Lancia are either/or for a Fiat when they're both occupying the same space in the market

The Brand had ZERO going for it, the INTER-GARLL-EE was a VERY long time ago & all Lancia offered was "Affordable luxery" or OVER priced tat!

Maybe in this country but Lancia is/was a premium brand in Italy and very sad to see it suffer.

Such a shame. it was always one of the better Italian marques with a great history of fantastic cars right up to the 90s when it all went wrong. I blame the Y10 - the first Lancia where I thought WTF is that? (though ironically it did sell well).
