context_page_description: Lancia Automobiles S.p.A. is an Italian automobile manufacturer, a subsidiary of FCA Italy S.p.A., itself the European subsidiary of multinational corporation Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Lancia Automobiles was formed in January 2007 when its corporate parent reorganized its businesses, but its history is traced back to Lancia & C., a manufacturing concern founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia and Claudio Fogolin. It became part of the Fiat Group in 1969.
  The brand is known for its strong rallying heritage, and technical innovations such as the unibody chassis of the 1922 Lambda and the five-speed gearbox introduced in the 1948 Ardea. Despite not competing in the World Rally Championship since 1992 Lancia still holds more Manufacturers' Championships than any other brand.
  Sales of Lancia-branded vehicles declined from over 300,000 annual units sold in 1990 to less than 100,000 by 2010. After corporate parent Fiat acquired a stake in Chrysler in 2009 the Lancia brand portfolio was revamped to include rebadged Chrysler products, for sale in most European markets. As sales continued to drop the Lancia-badged Chryslers were no longer offered after 2015.
