TataBobu Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Entry level Renault Megane II was sold over here as "Renault Megane Manager". On the same note, entry level 407 was "407 Palladin".

My mate had a ka, he popped in to say his exhaust had fallen off, I expected it had come off the hanger, nope the exhaust was still attached to the hangers along with around 3" of a bit of floor.

I suppose it’s not that different from UK market entry level specs on various exec saloons named ‘Business Edition’.

Would have saved on badges, they could have just snapped the R off and had the UK version as the Mange. Phil
davocano Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Probably not ironic but definitely a bit daft: Vauxhall Grandland (although it'll become an appropriate name when they can be picked up for £1000)
