I think you guys might be mistaken--I'm pretty sure that's the next generation Pontiac Aztek.

I saw this photo earlier in the morning, and I thought to myself, "Hmmm, this comes from a successful European auto company, mind you." What are the French thinking? It makes me shocked (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) that Renault wasn't successful in the US.

Wait! I think we are missing a what could prove to be very lucrative end to the Asstek debacle! Perhaps they could just ship all the remaining models to France and beat this thing to market! :lol:

Has Renault even made 1 decent looking car???? How hard could it B 2 make a car attractive???....I mean come on this concept (if thats what U wanna call it) is just perpetuating the ugly car syndrome that's affecting the Automobile industry as a whole. When does the madness stop and tasteful design come back in2play. Just another reason I hate oh so trendy Euro design, damn.....
