About time given the latest designs coming from Renault. The latest Laguna and Megane are amongst the foulest looking cars this side of a Ssanyong.

Its not a good time to have one of their designers go to a rival, just as Mazda is designing cool and flashy cars,

I’m a little worried… I don’t know if Laurens van den Acker will be able to translate his design language to mesh well with Renault’s. Does this mean that the Laguna and Megane III willboth have a different look to the rest of the future Renault family?

The smile is hard to pick out when actually seeing the car…but stocks out like dogs b*lls in pictures/designs.

This guy did the Mazda Furai Le Mans racer which is possibly one of the most amazing looking vehicles of all time. Car Advice you should post a photo of the Furai in the article?

Mazda’s loss, Renault’s gain. They need him. Desperately.

So Renault will now get the Peugeot/Mazda front end and keep the bump rear end.

Should be good for uglier cars than Ssangyong.

Thank god Audi threw him out before he could do any damage…just had a browse around the Audi yard and the VW yard – beautiful stuff. The Golf VI looks good in the flesh, and there were a few MKV GTIs and Pirellis there as well.

The 1st gen Mazda3 released in 2003 looks better and that was designed by Moray Callum. So it was Mr Van den Acker that gave the late Mazda cars smiley faces.
