I remember those, a real sleeper, they haven't actually made them since, hold on, 1988 :( They haven't imported Lancia into the UK for many years, mainly because they all fell to pieces and people stopped buying them. They have them here tho, the later models are utterly hideous.

With regards to the FWD V8, I was sat behind a Volvo S80 this evening with a V8 badge on the back. I thought most new Volvo's were FWD?
