what s wrong with this picture renault breaks wind edition

What can I say, I’m a child. Then again, this 100hp, Renault Twingo-based Wind coupe-convertible is one silly toy. With an 11-second 0-60 time from its 1.2 liter engine, there’s some question of whether the Wind could even outrun a fart. But hey, at least you’ll look cool trying, in an adorable, non-threatening, French kind of way.

With those rims, it sure looks like a Hot Wheels fantasy model. Maybe Mattel designed it. Kind of funny that the ad that shows up next to it is for the Dodge Ram 2500/3500, with the huge chrome grill and slotted bumper that looks like it could swallow the lil' Renault whole, squeeze the gas out of it, and drive a mile before it collapses under its own weight.

If a federalized version of this car meeting U.S. regulations were offered for sale with this level of performance it would have a limited market. If this were offered for sale in the U.S. in a federalized version with performance intact, the market for such a car would be limited, but it would sell. When the Honda CRX first came out, the regular version had a 0 to 60 time of just a hair over ten seconds and the High Gas Mileage 1.3 liter and 1.5 liter HF versions were over twelve. That was acceptable then and would be O.K. now. This Renault certainly performs better and is more attractive than the Smart.

Akila Hello Everyone, I found your blog very informative. If you want to know more about [url=
Michael Gallagher I agree to a certain extent but I go back to the car SUV transition. People began to buy SUVs because they were supposedly safer because of their larger size when pitted against a regular car. As more SUVs crowded the road that safety advantage began to dwindle as it became more likely to hit an equally sized SUV. Now there is no safety advantage at all.
Probert The new EV9 is even bigger - a true monument of a personal transportation device. Not my thing, but credit where credit is due - impressive. The interior is bigger than my house and much nicer with 2 rows of lounge seats and 3rd for the plebes. 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, around 300miles of range, and an e-mpg of 80 (90 for the 2wd). What a world.
Ajla "Like showroom" is a lame description but he seems negotiable on the price and at least from what the two pictures show I've dealt with worse. But, I'm not interested in something with the Devil's configuration.
Tassos Jong-iL I really like the C-Class, it reminds me of some trips to Russia to visit Dear Friend VladdyPoo.
