Il prossim'anno arriva la Flavia Convertibile ma senza il diesel perchè il relativo business case non ha dato esito positivo ed ha causato la cancellazione anche di Lancia Flavia Sedan, come già riportato nel forum.
Fiat ritiene di poter vendere la Convertibile anche senza motorizzazioni diesel.
Fiat trims plan for European Chrysler 200
Contenti loro , a me sembra un'idiozia ma.... staremo a vedere
The Chrysler 200 convertible as a Lancia: Fiat is betting that lack of a diesel option won't be a problem.

TURIN -- Fiat displayed both the Chrysler 200 sedan and convertible at the Geneva auto show in March, hinting each would be sold in Europe badged as Lancia Flavia models. Now Fiat sources say only the convertible will come to Europe.
Insiders say the cost of adding a diesel engine killed the business case for the 200 sedan in Europe. Diesels account for about half of European passenger-vehicle sales.
Fiat executives decided to stick with the plan to offer the convertible early next year as the Lancia Flavia cabriolet. They're betting the droptop version is attractive enough to withstand the lack of a diesel variant.
