Dacia Logan v1.0

1.Little history:

(For those of you who don't know what Dacia is)

Dacia is a Romanian car manufacturer. It was founded in the '60s and produced cars under Renault licence. 
First it was the Dacia 1100, which was the Renault 8 Gordini body with a small 1100 cc engine. Then followed
the Dacia 1300 which was a Renault 12. This is the car that literally put Romania on wheels. The car is still
produced today with very few modifications (indirect injection, slightly modified body styling). In the early 
'90s the Romanian manufacturer separated from Renault and decided to continue on it's own. Thus the Nova was 
born. This car is suposed to be made on Peugeot 409 plans as Dacia was to be bought by Peugeot after the 
Renault separation. Peugeot didn't buy Dacia because it only wanted it's facilities to make Peugeot engines.
(These are only rumours, but the fact is that techincaly and esteticaly Nova really lookes like the 409).
Then Renault decided to buy back Dacia as it needed it to make the famous 5000 euro car that they wanted to build.
After buying Dacia, it released the SuperNova, which had a 1400cc 8 valve engine from the Clio. Later they made a
upgrade to this car calling it Solenza. This has the same engine but a newer gearbox, taken from the Megane II 
models.
This year Renault and Dacia unveiled the Logan, the famous 5000 euro car. The 5000 euro bet is only partialy won,
beacause this car will cost 5000 in the extremly-low-range model which will be sold only in Romania. The 3D model 
I created is the top-range Logan Laureate 1.6 MPI. Take into consideration that Logan's sales start in september 
2004, so this is your chance to take is for a sneak-preview testdrive ;).

Some technical data:
Engine: 
a. 1.4 MPI:
   -4 cilinders, 8 valve, 1400cc, 75 bhp.
b. 1.6 MPI:
   -4 cilinders, 8 valve, 1600cc, 90 bhp.
c. 1.6 16v will be released next year:
   -4 cilinders, 8 valve, 1600cc, 107bhp.
Gearbox: 5 speed.
