And that feels GOOD ! Behold the Renault Initiale Paris Concept !

This concept shows what Renault has in mind for the next generation Espace and what their premium cars will be like (hence the name, Initale Paris was the name given by Renault to their high end specs car in the 90's)

I like it, a lot. It looks a bit like an Avantime, but one that looks good.

I'm liking it. Much cooler than the current Espace, which screams Parisian Airport Taxi. It also allows them to make it look both sleeker and more appealing to the legions of people buying posh crossovers at the moment, and may actually grab people's attention. Renault desperately need their cars to do that at the moment...

It has four doors, not two! Do all the windows at least go down at the same time along with a massive sunroof?

It doesn't look that crazy to me. It seems like a concept of a logical replacement of the current, decade+ old, Espace with a little Evoque blended in.

... and the front of the facelifted Mégane.
