    Reading at your average comments, it looks like the French cannot make proper cars.

    Don't forgot that Renault manage to buy Nissan and put it back to profit. At the same time, Daimler was failing with Chrysler.

    Renault have a tradition to present extreme concepts to public, and sometimes it even gets done (see Avantime) Carlos Ghosn (head of Renault and Nissan) have recently committed to make Renault the biggest electric car maker in the world. ([www.renault.com])

    While I'm not a fan of the man or the brand, you can't despise them for being innovative. And no, getting 0 to 60 in less than 3 s is not innovation.

    This very concept is marketing targeted at women, and while it may surprise some readers, women have gained the right to drive a car for some years now. Sometimes, they even buy cars on their own.

    We interrupt this effete and distinctly un-Jalopnik post regarding a French electric car co-developed with a cosmetics manufacture to wish a happy 80th birthday to one the most Jalopnik individuals in all the world, Sir Stirling Moss.

    @Peter Orosz: Some combination of oil, brake dust and road grime. Of course, L'Oreal's marketing department would give it a jazzy name....rejuvenating transportation extracts....and charge $40 an ounce.

    Well I guess it’s appropriate that L'Oréal name is associated with it because it looks like something found in a woman’s night bag or purse. I can’t decide if it looks like an electric leg shaver, goofy makeup compact, high tech tampon applicator or some other electrical wizardry one might find in a woman’s bedroom drawer.

    My biggest concern about "hot swap" technology: Every time you change the batteries, you'll need to reprogram the presets on your radio.

    So, no need for a parking brake, then?

    Actually I think the square bits are floating fenders. Kinda neat, really.

    I think it was the French who first came up with the concept of "biberonnage," or "bottle feeding," using an electric car in an operating paradigm that made allowance for many short stops to top up the batteries. Don't ask me which company it was that was working on that.

    But anyway, a bunch of little top-up charges can make your electric car cover an awful lot of ground. Stopping for a coffee? Plug in the car: thirty minutes of charging time. Picking up the groceries? Plug in for another half hour. Schtupping your boss' wife? Plug the car in too while you're at it, for maximum voltage for a quick getaway. It is a French idea after all.
