Renault Symbol? You Can’t Have One!
Unless, of course, you live in an area of the world where Renaults are sold.
Don’t you just hate it when an automaker rolls out a big introduction for terrific looking new car and then you learn that it isn’t even available for sale where you live? Renault, which last sold cars in North America in the late 1980s is one such automaker who has some decent products being built including the all new Renault Symbol. Alas, it won’t be made available in the US anytime soon.
Renault says that the symbol is replacing the Clio, a model introduced to the South American market in 2000. The Symbol is being built at the company’s Santa Isabel (Cordoba) plant in Argentina and is part of a product offensive undertaken by Renault in 2006. The Symbol represents the sixth all new model introduced for the South American market since that time.
The Renault Symbol was introduced at the 2008 Moscow Motor Show and was made available for sale across Eastern Europe, Turkey and Russia in the second half of 2008. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay will see the car in the first half of 2009 before it becomes available all across the southern continent later on.
