Lancia Lybra

The Lancia Lybra is a compact executive car produced by Italian Fiat Auto's upscale marque Lancia. Based on the Alfa Romeo 156 floorpan (and thus being related to the prolific Fiat Tipo platform)[4], it replaced the Dedra within Lancia's lineup, and was similarly low-profile to its predecessor, rather than as popular as its Alfa sibling. Just like the Dedra, the Lybra is available as both a saloon and estate (billed SW by Lancia)

The model's name can be seen as a reference to the zodiac sign of Libra that was derived from the Latin word for balancing scale. It signals an end of the previous Lancia naming theme involving the use of Greek letters as model names. The Lybra was built in the Rivalta plant near Turin until 2002[5] and after that in Mirafiori plant in Turin.[1
