No question Lancia (pre-Fiat) was one of the world's great car companies. The Stratos was a seriously cool car as well, though it had nothing in common with the roadgoing Lancias of its era. I've lusted after one since they were new, but prices being what they are I don't think I will ever own one.

Never could get down with Countach love. The cars were indifferently assembled and their interiors are really cheesy, with cheap, unreliable switches and trim that falls off. Driving one is a chore. Visibility is awful and they are very noisy. The Countach is a toy car compared to a Boxer or TR, which are far better built, nearly as quick, handle better and are more fun to drive.
