Coupe

Spied: Renault Laguna Coupe

Spy photographers have spotted the Renault Laguna Coupe while testing in Scandinavia. Renault first showed the concept version of the Laguna Coupe at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, but the production version looks to take a more down-to-earth styling design.

Set to launch in 2008, the production model looks to have more passenger and cargo room than the show car.

The coupe’s engine range should mirror the sedan’s — a range of gasoline and diesel four-cylinders, ranging from a 112 horsepower 1.6 liter to a 2.0 liter with 204 horsepower — but could also include a new 3.0L dCi V6 engine developing between 230 and 250 horsepower.

Is that camouflage or simply an advanced Renault construction technique?

There is not a chance anything French will come here. Altima does look a lot like Renault cars or has cues form Renault. Coups don’t sell very well in Europe or I haven’t seen them a lot. I haven’t seen 6 cylinder engines in cheaper segment at all (Renault).

lp640 the french are not a race, jeez, they make really sweet race cars though. i actually like the french they make good cheese and delicious wine, you should try it in 12 years when you are old enough to drink.

CTS: France has 10-liter boxes of wine. I’m not a cheese guy, but I can appreciate a good Brie. I prefer havarti, though.

lp640: no sense in me aiming for racial purity. Hell, I’m more interested in sampling all the flavors, anyway

If we are talking cheese I would like to submit Gruyere as the best cheese of all, it goes great with a Pino or a good Port and it is a key ingredient to making the best fondue in the world =)

P.S. The best cheeses are the ones that don’t really have names (go to Switzerland)

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Laguna’s looks, but I’d never drive one.

The 2000 something Laguna, was not all that good. I should know, it was my company car for a whole year. But it was a torquey little bastard with the 2.0 Dci engine and made lots kilometers with a full tank and did return a exemplary consumption rate. I reckon i once made a 900 km voyage on a full tank. That would make it around 6.5 litres every 100 kms. But it had a ****ty interior. Hard plastics and a very unconfortable driver’s seat. Still, i couldn’t complaint. It wasn’t mine. I only borrowed it for a year!! Lol

on little side note, concerning Port Wine, as you call it. Try a 15 year old Tawny. Or a 20 year old. I should know. I live next to the vineyeards.

Port, lol, I’m from Portugal, so I could recommend lots of other portuguese wines or cheeses instead of the french ones. Anyway, the concept car looked good, I’d like to see it without all the camoufalge.

Eurolion: back in Germany, I tasted this great wine called Portuguieser Rose. Never saw it in the U.S. I’d love a bottle of that stuff.

CTS: I’m halway ready to call my mother-in-law and see if she can track that stuff down. She bought me a fifth of Black Jack’s once
