Nice find. I like it.

Why do I think you just discovered a very close interior layout to the future Z???

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like Nissan dealers are going to carry or service the Alpine here.

The other unfortunate thing is that the apparent production-ready car seems to have lost a lot of its styling to the accountants and men in suits at Renault-Nissan.

Photos of the two are in the attachments. Which would you rather have? ;-)

Oh, and before you say that the good looking one is just an artist's concept, take a look at this video from 2012, where the prototype A110 is driven:

I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't immediately dislike it. Wish I could see it in person.

I like the sporty minimalism of the interior. Could definitely deal with that.

If they are already taking deposits then pretty safe to say we are seeing the final production version.

I haven't seen a Renault here since the 80's and would be shocked if they started now.

The more I look at it the more I like it. Interior is a thumbs up. Arse end is gorgeous, the front...hmmm. I could learn to love it. I like the damn thing.

Walkaround from Geneva Motor Show, including interior video.
LOL - some of the interior switch gear looks familiar! :-)

The beat on this made me kick a 90's retro freestyle and completely entertained everyone at my work. I went the full length of the vid. I just got told I should try to get a record deal. Lol.

These kids wouldn't even relate.

OK back on topic. Lol
