Chrysler/Lancia withdrawing from Europe.

[telecat]

Looks like FIAT's 500 only policy is starting to cause problems. No "fresh" European cars since the Bravo and Grande Punto is leaving Chrysler/Lancia's line up looking stale and unsuited to European tastes. Looks like only the 500's, Alfa's and Jeeps will be around in the foreseeable future.

Again? I swear Lancia has withdrawn from the UK market about three times in my lifetime?

Wouldn't they be better having one dealership to sell all the "Fiat" products, so:

Fiat - small stuff - Pandas and various 500s
Alfa - larger and sportier stuff - "ideally" a Golf size hatch, a 3 series size saloon/estate/coupe, and an MX5 size roadster
Jeep - 4x4s and SUVs of various sizes.

So, three badges but one range of cars from one dealership.

Strange, I always see plenty of 300C's and Voyagers around. Didn't think they were doing that badly...

Ah, just seen that they don't make those anymore... I guess if the only car you're going to sell in a market is as ugly as sin (it looks like a Rhino baby) and its sister car is pretty good looking then it pretty much speaks for itself haha.

I think they'll just kill off the Lancia brand completely, I don't know why they're dragging it on for so long and didn't do it years ago.

Still we can dream though!

Lancia aren't withdrawing from UK as all the cars are badged as

Chrysler to fool anyone with a long memory of Beta rust.
