The
previous Lancia Delta is a very famous car in motor rallying. It won no
less than 6 consecutive world championships in the 80s and early 90s.
In
business terms, the production Delta was not a bit impressive.
The
second generation of Delta comes in 1993. It based on the contemporary
Fiat Tipo platform, which also provided the basis for many cars like
Fiat
Tempra, Brava, Bravo, Marea, Coupe, Alfa 145, 146, 155, GTV, Spider and
Lancia Dedra. Among all these derivatives, Delta is not an impressive
one.
It looks odd, drives ordinary and is produced with so-so quality. Even
the sportiest version, 2.0HPE turbo, is no match for the legendary
Integrale
of the 80's in terms of handling and driving fun, although it is
equally
fast in straight line. From the deletion of 4WD from Delta's range, we
can see Fiat group is no longer supporting Lancia Delta as a highlight
car.
