New Renault will have health monitoring (in good French!) and drivers will be warned about a potential hazard through the accelerator pedal. Very hard to spot a new vibe in any Renault… After the line assist and vibes in the steering wheel or/and driver seat what will they invent to shake the whole thing? The virtual mother-in-law shouting behind you, may be! Square wheels they have already…

In Uruguay we already have vibrating warnings, they are called potholes.

Until the 5th generation the Swift looked pretty good.
With 6th generation they have introduced the wrong design.

These models are currently on sale in the Netherlands:



I don't like the Swift, the rest looks okay.
Except for the Ignis and Swift you don't see them much on the road.

I like the Alpine A290 'steroids' version more. Except for the Alpine wheels which have to be the most awful and ugly wheels ever put on a car.

Its a perfect tribute to the R5 Turbo and Turbo 2 which had already distinctive wheels for the era. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_5_Turbo

The Renault 5 Turbo was a great car. Very keen on catching fire though. There was a time when you couldn't drive more than a couple of miles around here without seeing a Renault on fire and a Peugeot 205 gti in a hedge (backwards). Back that up with a Vauxhall Nova on it's roof and a Fiat Uno turbo throwing rods across the road. Great times

We don't need everything. There was some dross (a lot of dross). Hello Ford Mustang - the 80's one was almost as much of an insult to the name as the electric one.

Yes it's a fastback version of the C3 sold in developing countries.





Fun fact: "vas alto" is Spanish for "you go high".
