Don't recall much fuss from Clios and Méganes. Nor Dyanes, come to that.

Sounds like something Renault might have made up for publicity, or even if not, they're probably not unhappy with the coverage.

Wasn't there a similar fuss about a Renault (or other French car) and its name within the last year or 2?

Zoe is a fine name for a car.

Isn't it funny how some people object to having cars bearing their name, whilst others name their new-borns after cars: "'ere, 'ave you seen my baby, Portia. She's laaavely, innit?"

I see from the article the litigant is a certain 'Zoe Renault' ffrom Paris - maybe Renault (the company) could counter sue (oh no! let's not get sue invloved as well -ed.) for her use of the name 'Renault' - after all I'd imagine they were here a deal longer than the 23 year old - and then call it quits.. (no, not call the car 'quits', I mean the.. oh never mind..)

To me, Zoe stands for zinc oxide eugenol, a material used in dentistry.

I feel slightly sorry for Zoe Renault though how an individual can expect stop a car company using a widely used name for a car I dont know !!!

We will have Henrys complaining about vacuum cleaners next!

Didn't do Minnie Driver any harm did it! Presumably she is the daughter of Laurie Driver.
