Injecting glamour into a brand like Renault isn't an easy job but I reckon that the French maker 
has just pulled off quite a result with the Laguna coupe.
You see I've just spent the weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix. And aside from the small matter of our Lewis doing a brilliant job to win in the wet, Renault chose it as the location to show its new coupe to the world.

It certainly didn't look out of place in Casino Square or apparently at the Cannes film festival where it was also shown off on Saturday night. From certain angles it even looks like an Aston....
