2009 Lancia Delta

You know the routine by now. It’s time to bring together some of the random things we’ve been reading on our laptops.

2009 Lancia Delta had us ‘wowed’ in Angeles and Demons: Yes, I know that Angeles and Demons has been out for a while now, but I went to see it this past weekend with some family members. When the 2009 Lancia Delta made its debut onscreen, I was totally impressed by the car. I had family members turning to me going “What car is that?” – like I’m a database for cars or something. Nonetheless, it’s pretty damn good looking. Just another product we’d like to see in the U.S. from Fiat.

2009 Lancia Delta:

GM to launch Buick campaign to promote new models: Buick is going to be one of the four core brands of the ‘New GM’ when its comes out of bankruptcy. The automaker is now putting together a new major brand reintroduction campaign scheduled to start on Sunday with TV commercials, print and online ads. There is a sneak peak on the Buick Web site for now. – NYTimes

The new Lacrosse looks good, the Lucerne looks to much like the old Cadillac Deville.

I too like the Lancia Delta, obviously we have some idiots who like trucks and cheap beer posting down below us. The Delta looks good, offers some nice engines, and did we mention it looks good? Also, the interior is nice.

"...obviously we have some idiots who like trucks and cheap beer posting down below us."

Hey little guy, can you explain, in your clearly superior and sophisticated way, how disliking the appearance of this vehicle equates to idiots, trucks, and beer?

2009 Lancia Delta had us ‘wowed'? By "us" you mean you and your family? It's about as stunning as the Tiburon was when it first came out in 1996. Seriously, those are strong words. Please justify this alleged 'wow.' Despite my comparison, I think any 2009 Hyundai looks better than this.

"Just another product we’d like to see in the U.S. from Fiat." WHO'S WE?
