I have one - a '97 Station Wagon, imported from Switzerland to UK - they made no RHD versions of the Kappa.
It is much as I expected from a modern Lancia in terms of class, quality and performance, and is a very appropriate follow-on from my Thema 8V ie Turbo Estate.
Actually, for all the praise that Themas get, and deservedly, the Kappa is a much better car.
The Fiat 20v Turbo 2 litre engine is very well suited to this car- better than to the Fiat Coupe, I think. You can actually work on it without the ridiculous space restriction in the Coupe.
My only reservation is the reduction in 'boot space' campared to the Thema, but it still does what I require of it- I play the drums !
It goes like stink - 0-100km in 7.7sec (1560kg)- but stops with huge Brembo brakes and properly thought out suspension - a la top-of-the-range Alfa 166.
I'm very pleased and highly recommend it.
