Wasn't it built off the Monte Carlo?It was built by Pininfarina not Lancia. There's no reason to believe it would follow that particular 'Lancia reliability' stereotype.
They didn't 'stubbornly stick' with RWD, Audi was the only AWD rally car at the time and the 037 was probably already well into development by the time the Quattro had proved it's worth.
It was also pretty much the first proper Group B car too, not just an adapted regular production car. That alone makes it special.
Meh. Never been a fan of rallying. The car may be legendary and great but I've never heard of it.
This poll really is doubling as an effective spotter of community troublemakers deserving a ban.

The fact that this car didn't stay 100% subzero is disappointing.
I'm guessing you're joking, and I can't say this is true for everyone here that didn't vote SZ, but I'm not going to vote SZ on a car I've never heard of, is related to a type of racing I really don't care for, and looks awful.

I just wanted to see a cool car be 100% SZ.
Never going to happen.
Unforunately, the Pontiac Aztek couldn't quite make 100% SU, so this can't make 100% SZ either.

Absolutely and completely subzero. Before the sport got bludgeoned with the brute ugliness that is the Quattro, there was this, winning the last WRC title for rear-drive cars. Pictures don't relay its diminutive nature, either; this thing's only as long as an NA Miata. It's fit for fighting purpose too, with a small, light, powerful engine in the back.
One of the all-time greats, even if it is overshadowed by the more popular machines on either side of it in Lancia's rallying history.

No I'm not joking, and the expansion of understanding of things that you've never heard of doesn't hurt.

Also not sure why you don't care about WRC,
Looks are subjective, but the history/legend status in motor racing on multiple platforms along with package and looks is why it gets SZ.
Try opening your mind a little, you might just see how awesome this car is.
Or you could just yourself...

Legend status means nothing when you don't care about what it's connected to.
It only doesn't mean anything to you.
If anyone needs any convincing as to how 'Sub-Zero' this car is, watch this from 11:01:
I only see a rally car.
Didn't even know it was supercharged.
Which in a way, makes it worse.
It only doesn't mean anything to you.
If someone was telling you about a rare baseball card which you didn't care about, (I don't know if you care about baseball cards.) then it wouldn't matter how "cool" someone said it was, it's just a card.
Just like this is just another race car.
Because I'm the only one in the world that could care less about rally racing. Everyone except for me follows rally racing like it's their religion. Yep.
