Unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show, the first Lancia Delta rebadged as a Chrysler was made public...no other name was given and it looks like Fiat/Chrysler is aiming at the small SUV market...with the demise of the Pacifica..

Love the color. Definately going to be eye catchers on the road.

I really like it, and I love the headlight/taillight design. Very nice

I think it's kind of cool looking. Definitely a Fiat design. I think it's a push in the right direction.

looks better than the Caliber, Avenger, Sebring, PT Cruiser..

I think that sums up all of Chrysler's small vehicle segment.

New styling is more than overdue for Chrysler. I like it

i can't believe they gave it the lancia name out of all the names it could be. First off all the good cars lancia has produced for the public were sports cars and they were sports cars that are collectible because they fell apart so much that having one is a rarity.
I believe this was covered in top gear not to long ago. If they were to name a car the lancia it should be a reincarnation of a rally worthy vehical not this crossover thing.

looks more alfa romeo-esque than lancia.

either way... good job copying the rest of the market. doesnt look like anything special that is not already out there.

blah.

Really good coverage of the auto show on allpar.com. Car isn't my cup of tea but anything beats the current Sebring.

The front is ok the back is sexy, now lets see the interior! hopefully they can help Chrysler out in that department!

the rear end looks somehow like that ugly compact Volvo.
(if you look directly from behind)

oddly enough this is from the review above:

It’s aimed at those downsizing from an Audi A4 or maybe a Volvo or an upper spec Passat who don’t want any loss of luxury or ‘premiumness’ but want to lose some length and bulk and gain on fuel economy.
