Might be just me, but I'm seeing bits of Avantime's fantastic design in Renault's Initiale Paris concept, unvelied in Frankfurt.

Facelift vs. redesign for Megane was disappointment, but this concept saved the day. Even the colour works.

It's basically a '13 Escape.

Basically maybe, but unlike Megane, they applied some new ideas here even though it's still just a variation of the current design lingo.

I know I should probably not ask this in public, but use Google in private instead, but what the hell was that episode about? Why the mass hysteria? Did she give away Shelby Cobras to everyone or what? And please don't respond "because bees".

Cameras perhaps, but also could be "we dunno what to do with them, so let's just make em really really small and sleek and call them advanced".

That was the episode that she gave everyone a car. Not sure what kind though.

I looked it up, and it is a Pontiac G6 or something, but the whole thing failed because everyone needed to pay the taxes of around 7000 dollars... or lose the car..
