The Fiat Group's inability to offer the Chrysler 200 with a diesel engine in Europe meant that even though the company created Lancia-badged concepts of both the sedan and convertible variants of the mid-size model, only the latter would make it into production.
The reasoning behind Fiat's decision is that while the absence of a diesel option automatically kills chances of any success for the Lancia Flavia saloon in Europe, the convertible can attract buyers even with a gasoline-engine only.
Now, with European sales of the Flavia Convertible well underway in select markets including, but not limited to, Italy, Germany, France and Sweden, the Italian carmaker dropped a slew of photos for those with a genuine interest in the car or for those just want to see what a 200 Convertible with a Lancia logo looks like.
