First drive: Chrysler Ypsilon

Remember the Lancia brand? Many enthusiasts do and are still sad at the Italian sporting brand's departure from the UK in 1994.

Well, now its back - sort of. In case you weren't aware, Fiat Auto has taken over the US car maker Chrysler. As part of its plans, Lancia and Chrysler are to be merged in Europe, with the Italian manufacturers models rebadged as Chryslers in Europe, in much the same way as Vauxhall and Opel brands work.
