Cima Racing : Home2Rome 2010: A Renault what?

A Renault what?

22 February 2007

A lot of people haven't even heard of a Renault Safrane. It's fair to say that, when it was put up against the likes of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class back in 1993, this big French barge didn't fare too well, and sales figures were very low.

Except in France.

That means I've got to explain what the car is to most people, but that's not a problem as I accept that I'm really quite sad when it comes to cars, and I know that not many other people are.

However, there's one place I thought might have heard of a Safrane, and that's a Renault dealer. However, a local dealer that will remain nameless for now seems to think that I drive a Saffron.

Saffron, lest you forget, is the world's most expensive spice by weight. It adds flavour and fragrance to preserves, rice dishes and desserts and is a great addition to other sweet and savoury dishes.

It is not a car.
