I remember that the white one is the Ferrari 512, and the brown one is Lancia Zero. I've posted both in the past. But I've never seen them in the same parking lot before.
Someone's store decorator had one hell of a big budget!

Sure, you can get it in the color of your choice... but how does a car maker survive in todays competitive market, with nothing but one commuter? In only one market? In only one country?
Of course, Chrysler only makes one car, and one van, but survives because it owns Dodge, Ram, and Jeep. Lancia, doesn't own any other car makers.
Now, I don't know if Lamborghini makes more than just one model, but then, no one is going to mistake a Lamborghini for a commuter.
I doubt they'll continue to exist 3 years from now. Just how many cars does a car company have to sell to pay the ridiculous salaries of upper management? Plus parts production, warranty replacements, someone to answer the phones, the sales people, etc. I'm pretty sure you have to sell a LOT of cars to keep a car maker in business, especially if you aren't making the F150, Dodge Ram, Charger or Challenger... because few vehicles continue to sell much without constant improvements, upgrades, and face lifts. Even the Mustang and Corvette rarely went more than a decade without a make over.
And how can Lancia afford any R and D to make a new model?
For it's goal is to make only electric cars, and compete with Tesla. How can Lancia afford to even try to?
The brand’s new CEO wants to reposition Lancia as a near-premium automaker aimed at customers with an average age of 55 with at least one child still at home. Also, Lancia will no longer sell models that are targeting mostly women.
I don't recall that ever being very successful. The Beetle was successful, the Mustang, the Camaro, the PT Cruiser. Those were successful.
"I ran the newsstand under the house for 40 years together with my wife Bertilla," Fregolent told Italian newspaper Il Gazzettino.
"When I opened the business, I was happy to have the Lancia Fulvia parked in front of it because I had the newspapers unloaded in the trunk and then I took them inside."
