The New Stratos #2
When I saw the head-on shot, the first thing that popped into my mind was "Ford Ka." Behind the front wheels it's fine but I really don't like the headlights and grille.
"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"
Sorry, no pictures, only a silly question. What's with the Stratos logo? Why it's "Strato's"? What's with apostrophe? Is it only designer's fancy little thing?

I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
It's a remarkably faithful redesign, except for the front. Covered (pop-up) lights in proportion would make it near perfect.
Good question... there's no apostophe otherwise associated with the name. Never noticed it before!
As a retired designer with considerable experience in logoforms and typography, I'd agree except there's the same void between "R" and "A". Requires an answer...

Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
Maybe it was originally only going to be sold to people named Strato.. you never know with those crazy kids at Lancia.

Does anyone else think that all this retroness is silly?
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Do you have problems with the Fiat 500?
I still don't understand the excitement over that car. At least the Mini has some trunk space.
I don't mind the Stratos at all though. It's nicely done.
The Challenger, Mustang and Camaro I have some issues with though. The US has been playing the retro card for a long time. It's gotten tired and boring.
Well, they tried doing modern stuff, it didn't work. So now, retro is in.
