What's The Alternatives?

That front wing/bumper detail is just awful. Colour isn't up to much either. Yuk

First off, I've had the title of this thread changed just to modernise it a bit as its now been going for nearly 5 years :o

I don't mind the colour of the outlander at all, but not keen on the front. Looks very Citroen with the grill and lights I think.

I, she's a beauty....its a real value for money brand. A new Duster or a 6/7yr old RAV, still the RAV for me.

All Renault dealers in the UK will sell the French carmaker’s Dacia budget brand under a “no haggle” pricing agreement from the beginning of 2013.

With prices starting at under £7,000 for the Sandero supermini and under £10,000 for the Duster SUV. Both models will be launched in the UK in December 2012.

The move is part of a dramatic overhaul of Renault’s UK operations which sees the deletion of the Laguna, Espace, Modus, Wind and Kangoo car models from February 2012. The brand is also axing 55 dealers in a bid to match the size of its network to its volume expectations.

Not a bad effort at all :)

The Side window profile and the crease line is quite RAV4.2 ish

That's what I thought as well

Prefer rear view to front but the tailgate load sill looks very high

[Hoovie]

Prefer rear view to front but the tailgate load sill looks very high

It does, but I wonder if that is because it actually has a spare wheel under the floor?!

Well it's reputedly based on the Mitsu ASX and that has a spacesaver at least.............

[Hoovie]

I wish the spare cam back on the RAV, even as just a cost-option! :(

[NMaria]

Will that C4 thingie, like all other Citroens, do about 200mpg , I wonder, because there is so little steel in it?
