Title: New Delta not to use HPE name? Post by: lee69 on 27 December, 2007, 08:12:11 PM There's some updated info on Italiaspeed.com about the Nuova Delta - whether it will carry the HPE name or just Delta, the design for the 'Delta' badge, production targets and some technical specs:

Post by: toby2449 on 30 December, 2007, 10:05:52 AM have to say for a long time i've hoped Lancia would simply call the new Delta, Delta. lets be honest most people know Delta, even people who really aren;t Lancia fans know the badge, i'd reckon it'll appeal to a wider audience. A production break even point of only 45000 units has to be great news for Lancia also! In a market where Golf's & Focus sell 300-400,000 units a year i can't for the life of me see Lancia failing to sell their estimated 80,000. For me the design looks brilliant, i don't think there's a single angle from which i don't like the car, roll on march when i'll get to see it up close n personal in the Geneva Motor Show, and then after that, my deposit will be in the post (even if living in Ireland i'll have to personally import one!) can't wait to see the interior, and all the trim options Lancia will offer, plus i'd say it'll be stuffed with equipment! |
