Oh not the 2 door coupe, but rather a B-segment sporty SUV.

Here in Spain the Micra is also more expensive than the Clio, although it comes with a turbo engine as standard, whereas the Clio doesn’t.

The kei car is a very special car class which is not used or marketed anywhere outside Japan. Not even the Twingo would fit the rules.

The Latitude also failed. In Europe it’s D-segment tops for saloons/liftbacks. And even that segment is shrinking rapidly.

It is indeed, but the Stepway CUV-lookalike version.

Straight rebadges are unlikely. As another commenter says above the idea is too share as many unseen bits as possible (engines, gearboxes, suspension, electronics, etc.) and then differentiate the cars on the bits that you can see and/or touch (basically interior and body).

The engine lineups are similar but not exactly the same, although they are usually a mix of versions of the 1.3 litre turbo petrol and 1.6/1.7 litre diesels.

We can definitely agree on that.

You are generally right, but you forget that in Europe we have something which doesn’t exist in America: the expensive small car.

I don’t think most markets where the Duster is marketed as a Dacia receive this bodystyle.

Small cars include (small) SUVs too. They are all the rage in Europe right now, which is Renault’s main market.

Since 1999 apparently.

The car is Cayman money in Europe, give or take.

It’s not the corporate face, it’s everything. It’s clearly an A110 it cannot pass for anything else.

If the European pricing structure was maintained it would start at $55-60k. Although maybe having to federalise it would add to the price.

No.

It did... just not that much and you saw almost nothing of it in the US.

That made me laugh.

It is smaller and lower and the proportions are actually quite different.

It wouldn’t because the design language is too Alpiney to work as anything else other than an Alpine. It wouldn’t even work as a Renault.
