Dacia Sandero, now available as a crossover

My car is simply assigned the task of getting me from A to B, ideally without exasperating faults and with low running costs. The number of people who are following this line of thought is growing increasingly. Of course, you could afford more, but for what?

For people who see a car as a simple commodity, Dacia is true salvation in the light of new car prices that seem to be in an endless upward spiral.

Given the current run on the Dacia Sandero - which in the meantime has become visually acceptable - there is no-one who will doubt the success of this concept.
To conjure up at least a hint of lifestyle into the base cheap end of the market, the Sandero is supposed to be coming to Europe as a would-be SUV.

Like the VW Cross Polo, the Sandero Stepway gives a thoroughly 'crossed' impression.

But whoever finds that this is not 'cross' enough will have to wait until 2010,
because that is when Dacia will be presenting a 'genuine' SUV in the scale of a Suzuki SX4.
