This is French design at its worst. Patrick le Quement designs are not going enywhere... See the offering from Citroen (C4 Picasso): they know how to desingn minivans... From what I know, this and the Vel Satis were huge flops...

I take a picture of a Vel Satis at each motorshow, you never know whether it is going to be its last outing....Originally Posted by hchanhle

I will agree that it's not beautiful in the classic sense of the term, but they (and the pre-facelift Multipla too) are immensely cool and definitely great classic car candidates.Originally Posted by hchanhle

Visca Catalunya!
Now you are over reacting, comparing this with a Multipla.
It's your call, but I can't agree with you.
I think the Multipla is a design fault, and the Avantime is made by a genius.
Only their was no market for such a car.
One other note, which I would never mention on the Volvo850forum.nl (were I am a member) I really like old Volvo's but if I could get my hands on a Avantime I would go for it.
Renault Avantime #7
There's some company around here, in West Sussex/Surrey that bought a whole load of identical Avantimes for it's fleet. I see them sometimes, the Avantime was an immensly pretty car and someday I WILL have one! In blue/grey or black preferably with red leather interior

These 2 cars, the Avantime & Multipla Mk1 were soo cool, they had so much character and soul within them, that's where Fiat went wrong with the mk2 Multipla, they've just removed everything that was good about it from it.

it's still a great piece of french design and i reckon in future it'll be the same icon as DS19[/QUOTE]
yea there're 2000 on whole world so no exeggaration at all
doh yea sure, but matra wouldn't make that car itself now would it anyhow, they'd need to bring back those times when cars had matra badge...
12 cylinders or walk!
Anybody think that Matra/Renault shoud sort of modernise(if possible) the Avantime and try re-releasing it?
(I.e. new engines, options, wheels, newer Renault steering wheel etc.
