Did it have manufacturer plates?
Are they sold in Canada? Canadian plates?

Maybe consulate staff from Mexico? (Or elsewhere too I suppose). I see an occasional VW "Bora".

In reply to Swank Force One:

Dealer plates or standard plates?

In other news... i actually quite liked it. Looked like a useful size. Small-ish without being too "cute-sy." Would consider as a new vehicle if it were available here just from looks and some info i've seen online on it. Though... i'm not hugely excited about the motor options.

There would be completely different engines available for the US, in typical fashion.

If there's no LSx option, then it sucks.

I'd rather a Dacia Duster.

Renault has a relationship with Nissan. Could this be US testing for a future Nissan to replace the much forgotten Rouge?

Hey there....stop bringing up the Rogue. We prefer it to be forgotten.

But one can hope that a new "Rogue" would actually look like this thing with a nice VQ-series Nissan engine :)
