Renault say it's too early to launch sub-premium brand
Van Der Acker who has been at Renault for just over a year now, said Renault needs time to build up the design of its key line-up of cars.
'I hope it works for Citroen because it puts exciting cars on the roads,' he said. 'But it is too early for us. I feel we need to do our homework.
'Citroen has built a family of cars and is now building on top of it. We need to build our family first.'
Van der Acker says Renault would also need to do its homework to see if creating an upscale variant of a car would make more profit than making just a remarkable single model.
'From a holistic point of view does the sum of the two – for example the C3 and the DS3 – more than making just one good car.' Nonetheless, van der Acker admits that just as Citroen called on its heritage to make an updated DS range for the 21st century, Renault has a history too that it should resurrect in the future.
'Renault has a treasure chest of icons,' he said. 'We need to make more of that.'
Skoda developing another C-segment model
Internal sources have established that the car will be developed completely by Skoda engineers, using the modular platform technology that underlines all passenger cars within VAG.
The newcomer will be a c-segment car and will sit between the Fabia supermini and Octavia small family car, although it could arrive as a sedan. The new model will give Skoda a more conventionally proportioned small family car in its range.
‘The Fabia is too large to be a traditional supermini, and the Octavia is too large to be a traditional small family car. The new car will bridge that gap and give our customers a car that sits perfectly in the segment.’

Fiat aborts Topolino premium city-car for cheaper model
The car will replace the cheap and aging Seicento, which is still available in some European markets like Italy, where it’s known as the ‘600’. The forthcoming model will have comparable proportions to the Toyota iQ.
The Topolino was based upon the current Panda city-car and was initially proposed to be an upmarket city-car, but it failed to get the green light because Fiat executives believed that “it wasn’t right for the market”.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Electric vehicles may not sell worldwide in large numbers for some years, but the CEO of electric sports car maker Venturi wants his company's racy models and high-end technology to demonstrate their potential. At the Mondial de l'Automobile 2010 in Paris, Venturi is presenting a completely new Venturi Fetish, directly based on developments undertaken for Venturi's World Records program in Bonneville, USA (2009-2012) with the Venturi "JAMAIS CONTENTE", the fastest electric vehicle in the world.
One of the stars of the 21st International Electric Vehicles Symposium (EVS21) to be held in Monte Carlo next week will be the world’s most exclusive electric car – the Venturi Fetish. Assembled by hand in Monaco and made to order, the Fetish has an asking price of 450,000 Euro (US$583,000) - not bad for a vehicle which can legitimately claim the title of being the first production electric sports car in history.
To get the very best out of such a motor, a new 54 kWh battery pack has been developed (LIV-10 Lithium Ion Polymer batteries) whose electronics (Battery Management System) have been entrusted to VENTEC, the leader in the field. Venturi Fetish offers a real range of up to 340 km. Thanks to its on-board charger, it can recharge using a regular electrical socket or fast charge terminals With over 300 hp (+220 kW) and torque of 380 Nm, the VM300 is the most advanced electric motor ever designed for a car.

With an output of over 300 HP for total weight of 1,225 kilos, 200 km/h, and 0-100 km/h in less than 4 secs, the 2010 Venturi Sport Cars Venturi Fetish Electric Sport Cars has become a "muscle car", armed and ready for battle : above all, it is more than ever before the world's sportiest and most highly perfected example of an electric car.
The first chassis specifically designed to house a large volume of batteries, the carbon monocoque developed by Venturi provides an exceptional protection cell for its occupants ; it is completed by two deformable cells positioned at the front and rear of the vehicle. This concept guarantees the security of the battery in the event of an accident and provides a level of safety never before achieved in an electric vehicle.
The Venturi Fetish is made by hand and to order in our workshops in Monaco. The production is limited, but not the program of customization, our Designer Sacha Lakic being at the arrangement of every customer to assist him in his most exclusive desires.
