More Lancia than Chrysler, here are the first pics of the Chrysler Delta model seen at the Detroit show. We don’t have any official details of the Chrysler Delta as yet, although it looks very similar to the Lancia Delta with a chunkier rear and a changed front grille and bonnet. We’ll have more details to follow, but you can compare the Chrysler Delta to our gallery of the Lancia Delta after the jump. What do you think?

The Heretic
25 May 2010 - 09:04 - #1Once again, the guys at Jalopnik don’t know what they’re talking about. The current Lancia Delta will NOT go to the US, as it was NOT designed with US regulations in mind in the first place and it’s too late to federalize it now. And no, it’s NOT a “Delta with a chunkier rear”. It’s a Delta 1.8 Di Turbo with different badges. The “chunkier rear” is a side-effect of the wideangle lens that was used for that photo.
So, why did they display this car? It’s simple: They wanted to test the waters and see how the American public would react to Lancia’s styling - which is the styling future Chryslers will have, since Chrysler’s designers have all the ability and panache of a slug.
