New Fulvia - why can't all cars look this good

Lancia has revived the famous Fulvia name for a concept car unveiled at the 2003 Frankfurt motor show. This little coupe is clearly inspired by the 60's original and mimics it by achieving effortless grace and beauty. This car's being displays exactly why Lancia simply cannot die. The reception to the Fulvia has been great and i really believe it would sell in droves if it were to get the green light. If so, i hope it comes to the UK, it could be perfect for a Lancia revival :smile:
For you technical freaks, it's built on the same platform as the Fiat Barchetta and shares its 140bhp 1.8l 4-pot. That may not be huge power, but this lightweight comes in at less than a tonne, so performance is pretty good.

No one does it quite like the Italians :D

But the Fulvia wasnt the only gorgeous Italian at the Frankfurt show, check out the stunning Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t138599.html).

No more to say : WONDERFUL ! Hope Lancia will do it. If they make it, I'll buy one before 2007 ! ;)

wow... that's a f*ckin gorgeous interior, hadnt seen it before and im completely drooling :D

i was disappointed this thread didnt get a single reply, thanks for rectifying that ;)

also glad to hear you'd want to buy one... im so sure this car would be a success :thumbsup:

BAD NEWS : the new Fulvia won't be made!

Crap! Are you sure?

Yes.....it's a damn shame.... instead, they (Fiat..) will concentrate on a small mini-van! Why don't they just scrap the whole marque? If priced right the Fulvia would KILL the competition I say. On a different market segment I don't think Alfa Romeo are going ahead with the totally stunning 8C Competizione either.... sad news all over

That's awful news, the fulvia would have been a big success for sure. You wonder about these peoples' minds sometimes :(

go to this address and you will all know about the Fulvia...

Enjoy!!!

If any of you is having special pictures from the Fulvia or movies, may I ask you to send them to Stephane on his mail : deconick01@versateladsl.be

Please pretty please!!!

That's okay that it won't be made. Anyone who likes to have a pop or something while they drive would be very frustrated with the location of the cup holders. Why is it such a challenge for car manufactorers to put out something with accessible cup holders????

Yes, it all comes down to cupholders :rolleyes:

We don't drink pop when we drive in Italy (One of the only places Lancia are sold), most Italians are foreign to the concept of cup holders.....


Damn shame about the Fulvia not being made, as well :(
