Honestly hard to believe. While this seems somewhat professional, I doubt they would let something like this slip. Seems more like a promotional fan made presentation than anything.

One thing that struck me is the presentation says "could be sold through nissan dealers" if it was a done deal you would think they would use different verbiage.

Renault tried the US market in the past, but it didn't work out.
The Eagle Premier, a collaboration between Renault and AMC was only produced for 3 years even when it was rebadged as the Dodge Monaco.
With such styling, I can't imagine why they didn't sell in the millions .rofl

Lol! This take makes no sense.

Not sure what the 80's 90's have to do with the current Renault. Especially when it comes to the A110.

If they brought Alpine over here as a brand they would probably do pretty well considering they only have one model. The A110 gets lots of press in the states.

A 3 year old statement by the CEO of Alpine.
So unless he's had a change of heart, they won't be coming to the US anytime soon.

Btw bernard Ollivier has been retired for some time now. Shortly after the launch of the car if I remember correctly.

Great article, thanks for linking.
No definitive statement about it coming to the US though.
The normal practice for the release of a new concept car is to release it in California first, which may now have a major drawback.
