Re: [doc] New Ford with gull-wing doors

[Mike Sumner <mikebmw316@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason the Renault Avantime had such a limited production run was because sales figures were extremely disappointing and as a result Renault pulled it.
 
I'm not the worlds biggest fan of the current styling of the Megane which seems to have been started by the Avantime and Vel Satis, but juding by the number of people that thought thay should fork out the £20 something grand for the car I'm not alone.

Yes and time and time again i see these 'fantastic' concept cars.... 
i have yet to see one go into production with all... or even many of 
the features they show...... I still like the car PhilW has the 
Renault Avantime... amazes me why it had such a limited production 
run judging by its 'replacement'.... shame....:(
