    Nowadays in Europe, not only motorcycles need to put on lights during day, car are following as it is more better in term of safety. People will notice your car easily just like for those motorcycles.

    If motorcycles need to put on lights for safety, why not cars?

    Anyway this car look cool, but i still prefer Golf or Sirocco.. :P

    Renault is an underrated brand. No matter how good this car is, ppl still can’t accept it as a true sports car. Luckily, there’s hope in Renault’s sister company, Nissan.

    in Europe, there is a need for lights during day time because the visibility most of the time is very poor…
