That C pillar vaguely reminds me of the mk III Granada.
Fair enough, I'm not the biggest Renault fanboy out there anyway. Though some older models and a few new ones look pretty good imo. The newer ones that look good seem to be modelled on the older ones that I like, or at least that is my impression, hence my comment. I might be wrong though, I can live with that when it comes to Renault :p
Spot on about Audi's btw, it appears they also come without indicators.
Not following a design concept over longer periods of time made Renaults difficult to instantly recognize after a model change, but within model lines there were some very interesting designs that stood the test of time. I am thinking of the Twingo (as you also noted), which I saw featured at the Museum of Modern Art in the 90s. Then there was the futuristic looking Fuego, which even today makes me turn my head. Also, R14 (very clean design with smooth surfaces), R15 and R18 looked pretty advanced back then (and still look good today).
Renault celebrates these models with an online "originals" museum (link) and it should be noted that Renault's small cars were beloved and super-abundant in the 80s-90s. Mind you, my mother had an R5 (1980) and when she sold it after a mere 5 years or so it was badly rusted below the rear seats. I never was a fan of the "quality".
Just saw this a moment ago. My grandfather had two Rovers and considrred the 75 when it came out. For me it's a marque with a nostalgic ring to it. Just like SAAB. A shame these brands aren't around anymore.
Wow that must be an unusual sight in Germany- don't see them often in the UK! :D
It's the fifth picture. And no, I don't know why all that code shows up as well.

The front lacks style for a Ferrari......
Anyone like it ?
I think I need to see it real life. The front is not that easy to see, it seems to flow backwards a bit. Same goes for the back. I like the fact that it isn't too shouty, it's a bit more understated.
It replaces the Roma apparently.
Which looks much better.
I just went to the McLaren Live event in Trafalgar Square, lots of cars and stars there, the drivers etc. What’s quite nice to see is the mix of fans: lots of young female fans as well as male. F1 is doing a really good job of expanding its reach.
The Amalfi looks like a EV.
What sort of cars were there. F1 or road ?
Did you take any photo's ?
The young ladies love Lando......... They probably want him to be the next Bond too :)>-
McLaren Live event in Trafalgar Square
I did take a few snaps but mostly of the event to be honest: a mate of mine had organised it. Lots of cool cars, a Senna car, a 2027 Hypercar, Indy car, Formula E, and a few of the current F1 cars of course. I saw Oscar but had to leave before Lando arrived, I think there's going to be a lot of noise for him.
I don't see a fifth picture here, and when I click on the link "See more on Instagram" (or whatever it is in English, it is the German version here), Instagram requires me to register to see anything more than your initial photo "tiles". I'm not going to register for Instagram, but if you uploaded the original picture to somewhere, I'd be interested.
I took this snap at Brooklands a couple of weeks ago: there was a pretty impressive amount of them turning out! Lovely things.
You get a lot of Bentley 4.5litres which are later, often 40s or 50s Bentleys, which have been rebodied to look like a 30s car, it's not uncommon at all. And to my untrained eye they're often indistinguishable from the real thing!
You can even order one yourself!
