At this year's Geneva Motor Show, Dacia will present to the world the Duster. Building on historic Duster model names of the past, the Dacia Duster will attempt to break new ground while managing to conform.

Dacia, desperate for market relevance, is jumping into the crossover/MPV/SUV market with a Renault-designed product which attempts to fool the blind. That's just mean.

To the blind, we are telling them it's a sports coupe, yet their sighted friends will see it as yet another MPV with an industry-first door arrangement we call "suicide". The innuendo that blind people should commit suicide is just wrong. Dacia should be ashamed of themselves.

Dacia's dimensions indicate an overbloated station wagon, but we tell the blind it is robust and has sports appeal. Once again, the intentional to lying to the blind shows the need for corporate ethics reform in Romania.

While trying to prove how upmarket the Dacia is, we compare it to our base Logan. This makes no sense, but the blind will not care.

In an effort to boost power, we have designed the body with a low coefficient of drag and with a special worm drive influenced by Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October. Air slips past the front of the car and then is propelled through special openings at the rear creating a nearly silent propulsion "boost" to the traditional diesel engine. Of course, the silence of the worm drive makes it easier to convince blind people that it is there.

The diesel powerplant is a 1.5L dCi producing 105 hp. The extra boost from the worm drive is classified.

After very briefly mentioning the drivetrain, we then go back to detailing how the interior colors provoke virility and how advanced the exterior styling is. We also point out more dimensions, because that is important when describing the vehicle to a blind person.

The design is adaptable for carrying seeing eye dogs, canes and dead hookers. The front passenger seat moves under the driver's seat freeing up space for 1.5 dead hookers (wet).

As for concept..
Its got the Asian front clip, from the Civic and the copy coming from Hyun/Kia

The suicide doors.. are the oldest trick in the book.

The rear clip is lifted right off a second gen Megane.

The interior is not inspiring, and the seat concept.. is a bunch of crap.

The WHOLE youth market target.. is getting old like bash SUVS / CUV for their incompetance. Just doesnt mean it will ever end.

Youth market.. how about THE CAPABLE MARKET!

"The front end features a broad bumper with two horizontal air-intake slits that suggest power"
Next time I want POWER.. SHOVE A V8 into the hood of a CIVIC and we cn talk about power!

And to end, there is apparently a rubbermaid storage box every 2" throughout the entire vehicle. I say give it 2yrs and all the designers will get from it will be a new front clip.. and a marketing bonanza. -- See Mazda's recent concepts for more information
