The modern Alpine A110

There is the Megane eVision concept that has been unveiled a few months ago and would be closer to a Golf in size :

While it’s only a concept at the moment, if it ends up like the Twin’run concept from 2013 that prefigured the Twingo 3, the production version could be quite close.

Many news on the Renault conference from this morning about the Renaulution plan, among other things :

He must be doing it for the range

the answer is that this is a salvage tesla. he’s not destroying a new one to put gas in it b/c he can. he’s already built several working teslas from salvaged titled ones.

Depending on the cooling they put in, they might’ve actually made a trackable Model S with this though, since all the “real” ones literally can’t take the heat if you even look at the accelerator too long (not counting the upcoming “Plaid” version of course).

All true, but I think point of this is to do it simply for the sake of saying they did and overcome the engineering challenges. It’s the same reason we went to the moon basically

“Champagne with my campaign, do the damn thang- what’s my name, what’s my name?!?”

I concur. That’s why I custom-ordered my Rotiform KPS wheels in Sandstorm champagne.

Stop hyping the Alpine man! I’ll never be able to afford one in 10 (20) years if you keep this up!  

This is too many things

Now those are gorgeous wheels... If only they didn’t have two sets of nostrils on the car... Well and if only they sold Alpine in the US.

The Alpine A110 Légende GT limited edition also have champagne/pale gold on the wheels, badges and carbon fiber inserts inside the car :

I owned a 2011 Aveo5, and a 2013 Sonic LT with he 1.8 (non turbo). The aveo was a 5spd and it was adequate, the sonic was an auto and the shifting points made it sometimes launch like a slug... but both easy got past 100 without difficulty so I would suggest your rental wasnt taken care of well... because both had…

Skip it as a rental sure. As others have mentioned, it makes plenty of sense to own as a car you never plan to take on a highway.

These are city cars. If you’re using them to drive about in the mountains, you’re doing it wrong.
