Dacia Lodgy

I'd rather talk about a Minivan for Eastern Europe rather than another craptastic Malaise-era sedan.





Looks a lot like a Renault Scenic, though.

Take off the Dacia badges and it could pass for a Renault.

I wonder why...

It's what happens when you don't eat enough fiber.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on the Scenic. They've already used that platform for the Duster.

Lodgy is a dodgy name.

Otherwise, :huh: . Nice enough for a Dacia, I guess.

wtf is a lodgy? :wtf:


Hell if I know.  Then again, WTF is a "Camry"?

(I know, it's supposed to be some sort of crown but it's still a stupid name!)


That's actually not a bad looking car.  I think Dacia has the potential to become the next Skoda.

I think they are that way in France. They're considered a cheaper alternative for people that would normally buy Renaults. My in-laws have been extremely loyal to Renault, but *gasp* they were cross shopping with Dacias when they were last looking for a car!

I'm glad they got the Scenic over the Duster, though.

You're honestly comparing "Lodgy" to "Camry?"

I giggled.

That was my only source of enjoyment in this thread.

I don't think this thing looks too bad, for a minivan. There's really only so much one can do with a minivan design in the first place. Hell, here in the US, Dodge decided just to go back to the boxy look from the early 90s with the Caravan.
