If there’s one thing most car enthusiasts regret about Sergio Marchionne’s reign at Fiat Chrysler it’s the fact that he let the Lancia brand die a slow and painful death. Sure, Lancia built a new Delta, but it had nothing to do with the original model that brought the brand so many rallying victories and street credibility in the 1980s.
