New Renault Alpine?
Why isn't Renault using it's Alpine brand? The chassis of the Nissan (part of Renault) 350Z combined with Renault's unique designs could be deliver a nice GT car.
See this website for more info about Alpine. Last edited by FIRE; 25 Dec 2004 at 21:19. |

Because they prefer to capitalise on the millions they're sinking into F1 and use their Renaultsport brand.

There are many brands sitting unused- BMW own the Triumph name (Cars not bikes) and many feel that a new Spitfire would sell well here, even if it was, for example, a reworked Z4 because people who wouldn't buy a BMW might consider a Spitfire.... There are many more examples of unused names most of which will never be seen on the back of a new car again.
Apart from anything else, if Renault did build a new Alpine we could have a lengthy discussion about why it's not a 'real' Alpine...
