In the late 1970s Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo & Saab conspired to create a joint platform for executive class sedans.  The end product was called the Type Four and featured transverse front-engine front-drive setup to be shared between the Lancia Thema, Saab 9000, Fiat Croma, and Alfa Romeo 164.  Each version offered their own spin on things, the Alfa was pretty, Saab was funky, Fiat was crappy, and the Lancia was insanely expensive to fix.  Find this 1989 Lancia Thema 8.32 offered for $4,500 with a Swiss title (every gear is neutral?!) located in Renton, WA via hemmings.com.  Tip from BarbaraPaddles.
