Welcome back to days gone by! - Lancia will design more fantastic cars that can save it from going bust. All in vain, because Fiat, in its infinite wisdom, will cancel them all. - Opel/Vauxhall will discontinue the Speedster/VX220 model, as building and selling exciting and good looking cars that handle like a dream is too much of a distraction from its core business. - Smart will launch an even bigger car. It wants to take on the BMW 5 series with a funky car that has interchangable body panels in bright, happy colours. It's going to be a great year!
