Philippe Prevel, the man in charge or Renault TechnologieRoumanie, the second research centre of the French group after theone in Paris, says that designing a Logan model is as difficult asdesigning a Ferrari. Each model has to observe a set of cost,performance and quality criteria.

"A Logan is as difficult to design as a Ferrari. It isn't anydifferent. Had it been, Logan would have had much more competitors.If we take a look at the market, there aren't that many competitorsfor Logan for the time being. As for Ferrari's bracket, we haveMcLaren and Lamborghini along with other brands for instance. Thereare many people who know how to design such cars," said PhilippePrevel, Renault Technologie Roumanie says.

Whereas a Ferrari or Lamborghini's price starts fromapproximately 200,000 euros, while a Logan is designed to startfrom 5,000 euros, both of them have to meet certain quality andsafety standards.

Dacia is the only "volume" brand on the low-cost segment inEurope, with many carmakers such as Toyota and Skoda announcing afew years ago that they were planning to launch competitors forLogan, which have yet to show up on the market.
