Probably 60%+ will be SUVs.

Pretty good month for Alpine then

Considering a test drive yourself Mik?

Nope. I like it a lot, but 4-pompeur and autobox are not for me at this point.

"price tag will set your wallet on fire"

Like that they snuck that in there.

Saw my first one the other day and it wasn’t as pretty as I was expecting it to be in the metal.

I’ve a sneaking suspicion that once all the initial hype has died down, these won’t be held in as high regard as the initial reviews suggest, or at least until the RenaultSport version is released.

This car got so much right (weight, look, performance, how it drives) but also so much wrong (no manual, LSD, packaging).

Another ‘nearly’ car.

And who designed the cup holder? The 15yo me doing GCSE D&T course could have done a better job. No, actually any intelligent 6yo could have done a better job!

Plus the group test in Car had the electrics die on the one they were testing. Flame throwing appears not to be the only magic trick baked into the design.

I have literally exploded with rage at this outrageous comment. Clearly he needs to be stoned!

Does it drive better when you are stoned?

It feels like light speed anyway!

Oh so that's what all that smoke in the cabin was!

Ah, no monsieur, la voiture n'est pas en feu! C'est une bong gigantique!

Mauro is a stunt driver and he's done work for Autocar in the past. He's pretty handy behind the wheel.

But what oranges! Absolutely love it, the costs involved in getting a 550 to 99k miles must be absolutely astonishing, but that is just epic in every way. And a lot less than I thought they were worth (because mileage probably).

There’s one being advertised for £59995. (at Renault dealer)
