I’m French. I haven’t driven those cars, but I don’t see why they would drive better or worse than other cars in their respective segments. People don’t buy these cars because of how they drive anyway, they want good value for money, which the Renaults offer and on top of that they look better than most of the…

Before they rust!

The Alfa line-up (which only comprises 2 cars) is extremely old. They look great but for my money I’d absolutely have the new Mégane GT with 4-wheel steering, a car that is actually new, over the Giulietta which is prettier but ancient. And if the Clio sucked or had an image that sucked, it wouldn’t be top of the…

What’s boring and crappy in the Renault line-up nowadays ? The Twizy is awesome, the Twingo is cool, the Clio is sensible and pretty, the Captur is cheap and sells like crazy, the new Mégane seems great, the Kadjar is also crazy cheap for the class and miles better-looking than a Qashqai, the Talisman and the Espace…

They don’t own Nissan outright but have a controlling share.

Why is this a topic of debate all of a sudden among American car circles? Yes, Renault and Nissan have been drawing steadily closer to each other in recent years (CMF platform for example), but there hasn’t been some big shift in the organisation of the two companies that would justify expecting Renault vehicles in…

I think a few years ago that guy admitted that it wasn’t even him who sung on that song. He was a one-hit wonder fabricated by a record company and someone else actually sang.

The Renault-Nissan Alliance currenly has a partnership with Daimler, but it’s a far cry from a Renault-Nissan-Daimler alliance.

Just a badge-engineered Twizy.

I’m a bit disappointed that it’s being offered as a Nissan in the States and all of Renault’s ingenuity with this car will be put to the credit of Nissan over there. Oh well.

Cool, it’s one of the Alpine LMP2 team’s Twizys, isn’t it?

Not really. Renault owns a controlling share of Nissan and Nissan owns a bit of Renault. But they are still two separate companies.

The captain of the ship conducted the launch since it was a special occasion.

Capital letters are definitely supposed to have accents in French! It’s common to ommit them now because it’s easier but they absolutely should be there.

From what I’ve read in French media he’s the captain of the ship.

There you go Patrick.

Maseratis have had these vents for ages.

I like the FX. At least it looks like it’s trying.

It’s not a rebadged Jeep, it’s stated everywhere that’s it’s the Ghibli platform.

It’s really really grown on me. These press photos are terrible but here in blue it actually looks good in my opinion. Per early reviews it seems to spank the competition dynamically too. I hope Maserati sell them by the bucket.
