Renault will be showing the Fluence concept car at next month’s Frankfurt Auto Show. Although Renault has yet to release the full details of the concept, it is believed the Fluence will preview a production coupe variant of the recently launched Laguna. Reports have said a coupe version of the Laguna would join the sedan and estate models about 12 months after their introduction.
The new coupe will become Renault’s new flagship with the range-topping model using the 3.5 liter V6 from the Nissan 350Z. Other engines are believed to be a 2.0 liter turbo gasoline engine and a new 3.0 V6 diesel. Transmission choices will include a six-speed manual as well as a six-speed automatic.

The window sill lines remind me of a Toyota Celica or Mercury Cougar, but that’s not quite a bad point. I’m not sure about the rear end, but it looks like a pretty neat looking car.

Don’t like it. The front’s fine, but that ugly-ass “hump” in the rear ****s it all up for me.

55amg; you’re right…This car has a strange sort of “retro concept” car-look to it, it’s quite old fashioned in a futuristic way (?) The proportions may be right, but I still don’t really like it. The rear has some good design features and doesn’t look overdone or “french”, but the front is way too impersonal in my taste. But you’ve got to hand it to the french; they might just actually go and put this ( ugly ) car into production…

Is it me or does Renault ALWAYS have to design the most butt-ugly looking vehicles on this planet?

Cool, edgy, different, industrial yet elegant and true to the proud history of one of the world’s oldest marques. Renault’s own TT with a French flair and delicacy that eludes the Lederhosen-wearers – hurrah!
.
and its based on the front-wheel-drive Lagune – Bollocks!

Would the 350Z’s motor be a possibility in a front-wheel-drive platform, or would this not be based upon a Laguna after all? I’m more confused than Deanster watching Scarlett Johansson leading the local scout troup down to the river for some watersports.
