Possibly, but surely this isn’t it. http://www.carsuk.net/renault-alpine-a11050-monaco-possibly/ http://www.carsuk.net/renault-alpine-a11050-monaco-possibly/#comments Tue, 22 May 2012 10:32:15 +0000 Cars UK http://www.carsuk.net/?p=34019 Is this a new Renault Alpine, or a Photoshopped Renault DeZir?

The rumour mill says Renault will revive Alpine with a tribute to the A110 – the Alpine A110-50. But the photo doing the rounds surely isn’t it. The rumours that Renault would revive the Alpine badge to bolt on a new performance car in 2012 have been rife for some time, especially as 2012 is [...]

With the news that General Motors are to pull out of Super Bowl advertising Hyundai steps up to tell GM they’re wrong. It’s really not been GM’s week. Last week they came out and told the world that ads on Facebook aren’t worth the advertising cost and that they were pulling their spend from the [...]
