Let’s hope it’s rather more imaginative than this 126 lookalike…
Fiat is "ready" to reveal a small electric car twinned with the Citroën 2CV, and it could be called Koala ⚡ buff.ly/kvoAMkX

What a shame. I cannot see one single standout feature on this car - it is utterly bland. As a Lancia it should be gorgeous. @tom550993 @ludenclassics @ShamiKalra @danpitt33 @gj_moss @LobAllan @OctaneMark @AdrianFClarke @TimOldland @SimonCarGuy @ListerLawrence @GPOnyx
Paris, meet Gamma. New Lancia Gamma takes the stage at the Paris Motor Show. Italian design, distinctive details and a new chapter for Lancia. #Lancia #LanciaGamma #ParisMotorShow @mondialdelauto

Goodness. Some people may remember the Citroën Pluriel, which thrilled us with the promise of hatchback/cabrio/spider/pick-up combo. Staggeringly, they sold 115k of them. @tom550993 @ludenclassics @ShamiKalra @danpitt33 @OctaneMark @AdrianFClarke @TimOldland @SimonCarGuy @GPOnyx
Is this the most unexpected revival of the year? The divisive Fiat Multipla is back, and now it's a cross between a pick-up and SUV buff.ly/iaAMYQN

After yesterday, when I decided that Type 01 resembles Lagonda and Interceptor, I have now determined that the dash pleasingly resembles that from the SD1. @tom550993 @ludenclassics @ShamiKalra @danpitt33 @gj_moss @AdrianFClarke @TimOldland @SimonCarGuy @ListerLawrence @LobAllan

Jaguar Type 01 is go. And it looks incredible. The best bit - the clever engineering involved. This is a car that has been built without compromises. Makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧. Not everyone will like it - that’s fine. Not everyone has to! What do you think?

Someone should go back through the original posts and count how many people jumped in saying, "Another Boring problem" and "One more reason not to fly a Boeing"... @MaxK_J @JohnLStrickland @scottiebateman @Fly_BOAC @Brabazon2 @TrueVC10derness @nealteamgibson @speedbird_uk
The German Bureau of Air Accident Investigation has released its preliminary report on the Vietnam B787 incident at Munich that saw the aircraft leave the runway on the takeoff roll and strike lighting stanchions in the clearway. The report suggests the PF Was riding the brakes on takeoff with brake input virtually from takeoff through to liftoff. It also appears the the slat “Autogap” feature probably saved the aircraft as it reached an AOA of 14deg at 15’ radio altitude. bfu-web.de/EN/Publications/I… #avgeek #avgeeks #aviation

The front...maybe (certainly better than the Ypsilon) but the rear? Another disappointment for a car that I was excited to see @ludenclassics @ShamiKalra @danpitt33 @gj_moss @LobAllan @OctaneMark @AdrianFClarke @TimOldland @SimonCarGuy @markchristie @GPOnyx @ListerLawrence
Given it's far more relevant to consumers than that Ferrari, I was expecting more outrage at the new 'Lancia Gamma' being a Peugeot 3008 with some plastic tat stuck on...

Ah yes, as in, "We'll take Ukraine in three days".
"If Poland enters into military action against Russia...Warsaw will cease to exist within two or three days,” says a senior advisor to Putin in response to remarks by @sikorskiradek that NATO could defeat Russia "quite quickly" if it attacked the alliance kyivpost.com/post/84548

How does the Lagonda still look so sharp 50 years after launch? What a stunning alternative to the usual options. 📸 Jeanmarcfd @tom550993 @ludenclassics @ShamiKalra @danpitt33 @gj_moss @LobAllan @OctaneMark @AdrianFClarke @TimOldland @SimonCarGuy @markchristie @ListerLawrence
