All-New Lancia Ypsilon to debut in Geneva

Italy's premium automaker Lancia is coming to Geneva with a slew of new debuts. Principal among them is the luxurious, yet compact new Ypsilon hatchback.

Joining the Fiat 500 and Alfa Romeo MiTo in Italy's assault on the Mini, the Ypsilon offers a five-door package with a three-door shape and a luxuriously-appointed cabin for a more upscale feel. LED dashboard lighting, large sunroof and noise-absorbing headliner do their part, as do the latest electronics, from the "magic parking" system to the Blue&Me TomTom Live dashboard system.

Chrysler To Expand Overseas Under the Lancia Name

Chrysler may be known as the "other" luxury marque here in America, but overseas it's hardly known at all. So with a new roster of vehicles on offer, Chrysler is changing it strategy for foreign markets. Teaming up with industrial partner Fiat, Chryslers will be sold overseas under the Lancia name.

The range – including Lancia versions of the 200 and 300 sedans and the Town & Country minivan – are anticipated to be unveiled, along with the new Ypsilon premium hatchback, at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March.

Lancia Ypsilon and Musa Diva Collection

In its never ending campaign to position their cars as the fashionable choice, Italian automaker Lancia has launched two new versions of its tiny Musa and Ypsilon cars called the Diva Collection.

Just what sets the Diva models apart from the standard models is beyond us, since the Italian-only press release doesn't tell us much. But there appears to be some chrome involved, and a range of low-output engines below 100 horsepower on offer. The pair of special editions are set to appear in a new television ad campaign.
