~New Renault Miata-fighter~

It's called the "WInd", so I guess if you pass one, you'll be Passing Wind. I sorta like the 3rd seat idea.

Of course it is. IT is French. They couldn't build a good looking car if their life depended on it...

I like the Alpine A110 a lot. Peugot made a concept car a while back called the 908 RC, it's my desktop. And the Venturis aren't bad. That's about it.

It looks not bad from this angle, but this is just unacceptable:

It's really goofy looking

It's very...angular. Certainly not a pretty car, but it is distinctive.

It looks like it's looking up and forward at the same time.

Weirdest headlights I've ever seen. I'd rather have a Clio.

Is it a cross between a 350z and a Z4?

You can see the wierd (but kind of interesting) third seat arrangement below.

As my father first described these to me when I was a teen, it is reNO. Ugly, but i would give it a spin.

It looks a whole lot better (less awkward) from that birds-eye view. Almost as if they styled it from the air, looking down.

For the viewing pleasure of German bombers, of course.

I would never buy anything French, but even tho it seems kinda rough in it's execution it does have some good angles/ideas.

I like it too. I also like the Traction Avant, Citroen Maserati, Gordini and Alpine A110. So take that you bunch of ketchup and krispy Cream eating philistines!

The French couldn't build a good-looking car if their lives depended on it? aside from the examples already given, I think you just need to amend your statement to:

"RENAULT rarely builds a good-looking car".....think about it, ever seen an ugly Peugeot? or Citroen?

Oh please. I didn't even break a sweat finding ugly Renault alternatives... Peugeot

Citroen (way too easy, these) I didn't even have to break out the 2CV to make my point.

However, the all-time Ugly French Car may be the Panhard. Try to dress it up, it's still a fish sucking a lemon:

aeronca65t, Have you been drinking from you teapot my friend? LOL I think there is no replacement for a miata except maybe a lotus 26R and that is only cause I have a LOTUS problem. Anyway the teapot looks cool let me know if I can be of assistance in the build I would not mind getting my hands messy with some old english grease!
