Small Renault Pickup for Eastern European Markets: The Dacia Logan is Sweet
Renault has launched a charming addition to its bare-bones Romanian Dacia lineup, the car/truck hybrid Logan pickup.
The fully utilitarian Logan offers capacity for a 1760-pound payload, with a handy 10.6 cubic-feet of storage in the cabin, at a price-point just over $10,000. With two frugal powerplants on offer, a 1.5-liter diesel, and a 1.6-liter gas engine, the Logan pickup will offer high mpg with low C02 output.
Renault hopes to capitalize on the needs of merchants and tradespeople by hitting the small truck segment that has been all but ignored by European carmakers in the recent past. The Logan will start life this year in the Romanian, Bulgarian, and Turkish markets, with others following in 2009.

Now that is a truck that I've been waiting for. To bad it will never be sold in the USA. Maybe I should start looking for a 80's VW golf-based truck.

I know way too many people who would love one of these (myself included).
