    Thank God!

    They made the right decision. The Avantime is just too ahead of its time for
    the North American market, we are not ready for it yet.

    Funny thing about the clinical trials... I put my name and address on the
    Avantime page on the Renault site, and received a promo card in the mail.

    When the DS was first shown in Paris, it was also ahead of its time, the
    difference was that was Paris, this is the USA. I can't envision too many
    people that would drive a Mini-van sports coupe. (well, besides myself)

    I think the Renault Espace would be a much better vehicle to rebadge as a
    Nissan or Infiniti. With the Espace, you can actually use the words sexy and
    minivan in the same sentence.
