The Dacia cars of the late seventies and early eighties seem miles away now. However, with the Renault they look set for a return to the streets of Western Europe. According to the BBC. Not sure if I would want one.....However, looking at the quote from the BBC they are obviously becoming more and more popular in France and also in Germany. Saying that lets see how well they do here in the United Kingdom and you can bet your bottom dollar that the Logan will be appearing on the BBC Flagship programme "Top Gear" in the near future.

Dacia Logan Steppe

Renault has big plans for Dacia, the Romanian carmaker it wants to turn into a world beater.
The company had stumbled on a new market - drivers who had rarely if ever bought a new car and who traditionally settled for a second-hand motor.
In the last few weeks an estate car version of the Logan has been launched, capable of carrying up to seven people.
It retails for about £6,000 and already a waiting list of French and German customers has built up.
