France
After seven years on sale, the Renault Laguna has been replaced by an all-new model which promises to be even better than its predecessor. The Laguna II is a stylish family car available as hatchback or estate (Sports Tourer) with class-leading levels of interior design, space and comfort. It is one of the world's first cars to come with keyless entry, with a credit-card style pad - Carte Renault - powering the door locks and ignition. The new Laguna comes with 1.6 and 1.8 four-cylinder petrol engines as well as a 3.0 V6 petrol and a 1.9 direct-injection diesel. A 2.2 direct-injection diesel and 2.0 petrol will go on sale next year.

Famous quotes containing the word france:
“The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“The moment Germany rises as a great power, France gains a new importance as a cultural power.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The anarchy, assassination, and sacrilege by which the Kingdom of France has been disgraced, desolated, and polluted for some years past cannot but have excited the strongest emotions of horror in every virtuous Briton. But within these days our hearts have been pierced by the recital of proceedings in that country more brutal than any recorded in the annals of the world.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
