Would've been way ahead of its time!! Look at the cars for sale now... BMW 1 series, Audi A3, Merc A-Class... Don't kill me, but I kinda like it!! Imagine that with AMG Monoblock rims, AMG bodykit, lowered a wee bit. Would've been hot! The quality would've been the same a sthe 190. Would've been a classic for sure!!!

I had a love/hate relationship with a Prisma (booted Delta) and can quite understand why!

Some sound off them, it was cool An immaculate blue one with cream leather interior and then a spotless bright red one chasing it.. (Didn't spot the interior on that one) But they were both damn fast!

I just said it reminded me a little about it with the boxy lines. They wouldn't even have competed against each other for sales. The 190 Compact would've been like the BMW 1 Series today or the Audi A3. The Lancia is like today's Subaru STI or the EVO... The 190 pic needs work, but definately has potential... I saw one of these Lancia's the other day. They are freakin cool. Definate future classic!
