chrysler s new lineup as you ve never seen it before

…with Lancia badges! And yes, that is the Lancia Grand Voyager. Chrysler must have held on to the name after Plymouth kicked the bucket. Of course, few consumers in the European markets where Lancias are sold will get the reference to a defunct budget brand, but the decision does add to the surreal vibe that these Chrysler-cum-Lancias exude.

rebranding chryslers as lancias will not help in Europe. especially since the sebring (err, sorry...200) has been a cruel joke in this market, despite the addition of diesel engines from VW.

ToolGuy "The more aerodynamic, organic shape of the Mark VIII meant ride height was slightly lower than before at 53.6 inches, over 54.2” for the Mark VII."• I am not sure that ride height means what you think it means.Elaboration: There is some possible disagreement about what "ride height" refers to. Some say ground clearance, some say H point (without calling it that), some say something else. But none of those people would use a number of over 4 feet for a stock Mark anything.Then you go on to use it correctly ("A notable advancement in the Mark VIII’s suspension was programming to lower the ride height slightly at high speeds, which assisted fuel economy via improved aerodynamics.") so what do I know. Plus, I ended a sentence with a preposition. 🙂
