It evokes memories of the first generation Delta and Lancia's past success in rallying.  A version of the Lancia Delta with a Chrysler front fascia has already been spotted.
The existing Delta was based on the old C platform, and the new Delta and Chrysler 100 will probably be on the Americanized CUSW, as the Dart is.
