    1) Too bad that isn’t a 4×4 whell motion car. Not even in optionals.

    2) Let’s hope that Renault and Dacia will manage to keep the Stepway price at a resonable price, under 12.000 euros, to make it interesting.

    I will test drive one as soon as they come out in Europe and will be looking at the Test from the Automobile magazines as well. If its under 12000 Euros, that would be interesting
