I'm sure either the Clio or Megane would make a good base.Quote:

Is the Laguna now out of production (I dunno the correct term in English, for which I am sorry).Quote:

Ah, pity. My Dad owns one, a beauty. Also I loved the old Laguna in the BTCC, in the late nineties. Ah, the sweet memories...Quote:

That's the correct term, but no, they're still selling it in the UK. In fact there seems to be a new one out soon.Quote:

Renault should be well placed once we come out of this recession. Their focus is small(er), more efficient cars which sell well in Europe. Plus their revenues are up due to the scrappage scheme so pulling out for financial reasons would be a lame excuse. Their reputation has taken a hit but I reckon they'll be here next year, especially as Red Bull seems to be keeping the Renault engines.
