I’m a renault-fanatic and I’ve followed renault for a long time. I think the switch from the non-descript design of the 80’s and early 90’s is a good one. The more architechtural approach ads more character and makes them more recognisable. You can detect it’s a Renault without looking to just the front of the. A lot brands focus on giving their cars a sibling face.
They should have produced the original Vel-Satis concept car. The one made for production is not stable designwise.
BTW I drive a 80’s renault a Robert Opron designed Renault 9 GTE, known to our American-friends a Alliance. I a strange way I’m atrracted to a lot of 80’s renaults
