On paper it looks quick and style wise I reckon that's a really good looking car.

but it's made by renault and will break.

I really wish the French and Italians would let the germans or  japanese built their cars. So many look beautiful but i'd never risk buying one.

Looks pants, the Rocco looks far more aggressive. Only thing the Renault has on the Rocco is... the shiny photoshop  :grin:
