	== Association with other Manufacturers ==		== Association with other Manufacturers ==
	Lancia was not closely associated with any other manufacturer until the [[1960s]]. By this time, their expensive and high standards of production had become unsustainable. In aiming to produce a product of the highest quality, company bosses had sacrificed cost-effectiveness and when [[Fiat]] launced a take-over bid in [[1969]], there was no choice but to accept. Many were concerned that this would be the end of the distinctive Lancia [[brand]] but exciting new models such as [[1970]]'s [[Lancia Stratos\|Stratos]] served to prove that Fiat wished to preserve the image of the brand it had acquired.

	During the [[1980s]], the company cooperated with [[Saab Automobile]], with the [[Lancia Delta]] being sold as the [[Saab 600]] in [[Sweden]]. The [[1985]] [[Lancia Thema]] also shared a platform with the [[Saab 9000]], [[Fiat Croma]] and the [[Alfa Romeo 164]].
