Renault To Release Miata Fighter In 2009

Not much by way of info. I kind of like the looks of this, the "wrapped" seats are interesting.

To quote from the link you posted "Of course, we won’t see this model in our North American market," You might want to post that in the Europe fourm?? Is Renault even thinking of selling cars in the USA again??

Why not bring it to the US as a Nissan 200zx. Where's the synergy between these companies anyway? Renualt should bring the Renaultsport versions of the Magane & Clio here as Nissans too!

Thing looks FWD to me (Heavy over front wheels)...
Can anyone confirm...
If it's FWD it will never be a MX-5 Competitor.

To me it looks like something left out of the Disney movie Cars.

It should also be FWD LINK

FWD is great for snow. Sounds like another sporty-looking econ-o-box.

Probably. I don't think you can fire anyone in France.

It's a 350Z with a bad case of ghetto booty.

I know stats aren't everything but...

Renault
Curb Weight (estimated): 1,874 lbs
Engine (estimated): 135 hp, 2.0-L, 16-valve, DOHC I-4

Miata
2,573 pounds
166-horsepower

Sounds... interesting.

The car looks like the dedede happy "special" child of Nissan that ran away to Renault. the front looks like it has this odd messed up smile to it and the headlights looks like a messed up clown paint job.
