Renault unveiled its Kangoo Concept today at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Developed in conjunction with ‘Rollerblade’, the concept car is built around a roller-skating theme and targets young buyers. The concept is painted in Fireball Orange and Brushed Aluminium and features a full-length panoramic sunroof.
The interior of the Kangoo Concept was designed around the idea of the “pursuit of leisure” and features a second row that swivels to turn the tailgate area into a sitting room. The interior is upholstered in Skate Blue leather and “techno” Aluminium Grey 3D mesh fabric.
Power for the Kangoo Concept comes from a 1.5L diesel rated at 105 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque.

So when are these car companies going to start making prototypes of cars again? I’m getting worried by all of these attempts to make drivable Micro Machines(tm)

I almost thought it said “kangaroo” at first. Definitely not my cup of tea though.. nor anyone I can even think of.

This is another example of the tiny “transpo-modules” that they predicted we’d all be driving “in the future” when I was a kid (in the 60’s). Of course, back then, we were all horrified at such a thought.
But ya know what? I like this, and most of the other’s I’ve seen on here recently. The designers seem to have figured out the formula for making a tiny car look cute and cool, and NOT frumpy. The new Chevy triplets, the new Fiat 500, the Ford Verve—all look like something I might actually enjoy owning. For a 2nd car, at least.

Looks way better than a Smart, livelier than a VW Up!, and not as “I’m hoping you think I’m cool” like a Mini.
Nothing beats a Cinquecento, though. Diami il mio Fiat!

That’s the best mini cargo van concept i’ve ever seen. And the only. But this one is pretty good.

Dear G-d, make it stop. These so-called designers clearly need to take some urgent lessons from Lamborghini. I’m utterly convinced Renault makes the worst-looking vehicles ever…they’re a plague upon mankind.

Cool car, I’m loving all these minicars coming out. The rollerblader skating over the car is totally gay though. That was stupid. And Bauer skates are better than Rollerblades

When Ben Stiller makes Zoolander II, this will be the perfect replacement for Derek’s Bronco that was destroyed along with three ridiculously-good-looking young men in a tragic mochachino petrol-fight incident.

Another great-looking minicar I’ll never have a chance to own in the US. First the Fiat 500, now this. I can’t stand it.

RicardoHead: maybe to you, but the vast majority would most definitely prefer a Lamborghini look-a-like over this ugly POS car.
