I don’t know. Sure the carbon fibre construction is cool, but it’s barely any lighter than the aluminium Alpine. And the 4C isn’t really usable everyday, has (from what I’ve read) wayward handling, no creature comforts whatsoever, no boot space and terrible fit and finish inside. Sure it’s bloody gorgeous but it…

In France at least the A110 will be quite a bit cheaper than the 4C. The 4C is priced stupidly high. The A110 Première Edition, which has pretty much all the options available, is 58,000€. The 4C, meanwhile, starts at 63,000€.

Indeed. The Interlagos is an A108 however, not an A110 like the Mexican Dinalpin.

Too bad, it was pretty cool. I wonder if the BX had the chevrons to the side because it evolved from the Bertone Tundra, which was supposed to be a Volvo with the logo to the side as well?

They haven’t spent 5 years resurrecting this brand (which, I will never cease reminding people, is absolutely sacred to French car people, even to Renault executives I would expect), despite the higher-up behind the project being fired and the partnership with Caterham falling through, just so they could rebadge it as…

It seems it will be priced sort of like a non-optioned out Cayman S. So specced like for like, it should be cheaper.

I like how they blend the chevrons into the chromes of the grille nowadays, at least it’s not a giant logo in the middle of a giant black grille like literally every other brand.

Keep in mind that Euro prices include all taxes and fees.

I know, my point was just that there still appears to be very strong stereotypes against French brands in the US, just as there are against Italian brands, and they are entirely unrepresentative of the quality of these brands today. But surely that must be in the “cons” list of any French brand mulling a return to the…

Well, for a start you have incredibly strong (and inaccurate) stereotypes about French cars.

Now that’s classy.

Why do people keep bringing up Nissan like it’s their decision to make? Renault owns more of Nissan than Nissan does of Renault. The choice to bring the Alpine to America is not in Nissan’s hands.

The old white on red chevrons didn’t look like the actual gears either.

Interestingly, the logo for PSA’s new premium brand, DS, is made of three Citroën chevrons positioned to make the D and S letters.

It was also licensed-built in Mexico as the Dinalpin. Maybe some of these made it to the US.

It’s a little hard to spell out in English. In this video, you have the correct French pronunciation as well as the fairly close British one.

I suppose the business opportunities must be real if so many brands are doing them, but I’ve had it up to there with these car-branded yachts that aren’t even designed by the companies whose names they bear (let’s not fool ourselves). I’m not one to claim that modern cars all look identical, but all these yachts,…

Peugeot was only boring and sad in the 90's and 00's. Every other era of that brand is fantastic.

I think that is the weight for the Première Edition, which has a few options (18" wheels instead of 17" and a premium stereo). That might account for the weight difference.

I hate your neighbour already.
