This is the all new Dacia (pronounced Dach-i-a) Lodgy! Is it something to get excited about? Oh yes. Set for a world debut at Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, the Lodgy is an MPV from James May’s favourite purveyor of reasonably priced cars.
The Lodgy will be available in either five or seven seat variations and is aimed at giving families who would typically purchase a used car a chance to have something new for the same sort of price point. Don’t expect Aston Martin luxury, but do expect good honest motoring at a very reasonable price.
Oh, and to make the story even more interesting, the Lodgy has even been racing! For its third campaign in France’s Trophée Andros ice-racing championship, Dacia has once again broken the rules by entering an MPV, Lodgy Glace, for the first time in the competition’s history. Two cars are contesting this winter’s series, shared by a particularly strong line-up of drivers: Alain Prost, Nicolas Prost and Evens Stievenart. Alain Prost tops the provisional standings with a score of two wins from three rounds ahead of the championship’s traditional Christmas break.
