Still got two Lancia Dedra Turbos languishing down in Coventry,

Oh, look, it's a Tipo in even posher clothes than a 155 ;-)

Oh that's nasty. The 155 is more posh, the Dedra was just quicker
that's all.

I always believed that the Fiat group branding was thus:

Fiat: cheap and nasty for the peasants
Lancia: Posh Fiats
Alfa: Sporty Fiats

I like to think my 'grale is more sporty than posh!

Thats the main reason for the death of the Integrale. Didn't fit the
brand. Luxury car builder that happen to build a psycho nutter rally
car.. Didn't make much sense.

I see, all makes better sense to me. Better for Lancia to build the
Integrale than Renault to build the Vel Satis

That's from the Lancia 'confused' era, when they couldn't decide if
they were posh or sporty.

Alfa are gone a bit posh now aren't they, more Audi than Seat IYSWIM

Nah, not in the slightest. More BMW, if you're comparing.

Hang on. That's not good, is it?

Might have been good a few years ago, not so sure now...
