Italians soon will show new generation Lancia Ypsilon

The Italian mark Lancia widely popular in the past is in demand today basically in the local car market.

Muffled positioning, the narrow and illogically built lineup, the overestimated prices — all it has led to that in many countries have simply ceased to buy production Lancia. But Italians still hope to break a situation. Including thanks to new generation of small hatchback Ypsilon.

The car will be realised on platform Gamma which also use Fiat Grande Punto and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Certainly, Lancia will receive a corresponding stuffing: petrol motors 1.4 (78 and 95 forces), 1.4 T (120 and 150), diesel engines 1.3 JTD (90) and 1.6 JTD (120). In the chassis racks McPherson in front and braided a beam behind will be applied.

While it is not known, on which the motor-show debuts new generation Lancia Ypsilon. The premiere should be loud, after all the B-class hatchback is the most bought model of the company. Apparently, car presentation will date for a scale Frankfurt motor show. But it is our thoughts, and Italians — a question here is how will arrive.
