Lancia: nessun futuro per la Flavia?
L'immediato futuro del marchio Lancia non prevede una berlina di segmento D. Questa indiscrezione viene riportata dal sito LeftlaneNews e allontana così l'ipotesi della Flavia, tre volumi su base Chrysler 200 già anticipata dall'omonima concept car. I dirigenti Lancia avrebbero giudicato l'operazione "non profittabile", scegliendo così di pazientare fino al 2013 quando verrà introdotta la nuova berlina Chrysler-Lancia su piattaforma C-Evo....
