Lancia
Dialogos
The
Lancia Dialogos which was revealed at the 1998 Turin Motor Show was a luxury
sedan with soft flowing lines and graceful proportions.
Entry
to the Dialogos concept was gained through the use of a special card unique to
each driver. This card would unlock the doors and then automatically setup the
interior to suit the drivers preferences and seating position.
The
interior design of the Lancia Dialogos echoed that of the exterior. There were
no sharp lines and the seats would not have looked out of place in a luxury
living room. Soft leather and Alcantara suede were used throughout and the
front seats swiveled to facilitate entry and exit.
Another
unusual feature of the Lancia Dialogos concept was the 'U' shaped steering
wheel which could be moved to either side of the car as could the pedals.
Although
the Lancia Dialogos never made it to production itself it did spawn the Lancia
Thesis, a tamer more production friendly version of the Dialogos.
