The Thema (Type 834) was Lancia's executive car from 1984 to 1994, one of four cars on the Type Four platform with the Alfa Romeo 164, Fiat Croma and Saab 9000. First shown at the 1984 Turin Motor Show, it came as a Giugiaro-designed saloon and a station wagon designed and built by Pininfarina. Engines were Lampredi-derived 2.0-litre fours, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, a 2.8 PRV V6 replaced in 1992 by a 3.0 Alfa Romeo V6, and turbodiesels; the Ferrari-engined 8·32 is listed separately.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
