They are both very nice interiors. I have always like the 607's interior. I do like it when the dash blends into the doors like the Lancia. It seems a little more pronounced than the pug. Lancia interiors have always been great. Ever seen the Betas mad design?

I want a Beta montecarlo so badly, I love the mk1 for the solid buttresses but I like the mk2 for having working brakes..............its a difficult one

YES... I went through a period where I just wanted one so badly. But I wanted the glass buttresses.
It was such a nutty thing to do.. Let's take it out of production for two years and remove the brake servo... ;)

Yes, that's it. Nice car that. I have seen some where they have changed the headlights to two small intergrale style lights each side, and that looks even better.

The driver of that car is an idiot of epic proportions, driving a Lancia in the rain! You can see it going brown already.

In all seriousness though that car is just lovely, €8000 will get you a fairly nice one €3000 will get you a slightly brown one but its as good as money in the bank, if you don't drive it in the rain.
