Just NOT out of the Dieppe factory - the last of the Renault factories that know anything about real performance cars !!!

Actually Renault are starting to act like British Lelyand in the 80s -- they only 2 years ago ended an alliance with Matra and decided THEY would do the Espace themselves. Matra produced a number of 4x4s in the Espace range - and they didnt' weigh five tons either NOW they decide they want to make SUVs. Strange, if they feel the need for a Renault SUV, why not just rebadge the Nissan anyway ????

ofcourse they are genius. think of a sensible reason why the hell a small hatchback would be rear mounted. There isnt one.

Unless it has a huge engine and rear wheel drive like the V6 however, which they arent making anymore

this car is hot

Do i see a little bit of Renault Zoe concept in there.

It's a lovely looking car, but the french Must be mad enough to put the V6 back into production.....

Why makes you think that they would build the SUV in Dieppe ? They won't. And yeah, there is a pretty big change that the SUV will be a rebadged Murano.
