Very sad news. But the price tag was never all that realistic in the first place so I'd be surprised if anyone involved with this project thought it would ever make it into production.

In the same way that Audi purchases used Golfs to build new A3s . . . ?

What about this. It probably doesn't perform as well as an LFA and it is wearing the same badge as the Chrysler minivan does in Europe.

This would be a very interesting idea, and wouldn't over stretch the Lancia brand.
