Woman taking legal action against Renault over Zoe name to be used for their cars

Run_to_da_hills

Renault is facing legal action over plans to christen a new model Zoe by a French woman named Zoe Renault. The 23-year-old, from Paris, has hired lawyers to insist that Renault scrap its branding. Ms Renault, who has no apparent family link to the company, said she could not bear to be associated with a car for the rest of her life.

I wouldn't blame her at all.

She could not bear to be associated with a car for the rest of her life.

HER NAME IS RENAULT FOR FVCKS SAKE.

How worse will it get having a car called Zoe?

Morlar

I wonder would she call her kids 'Foredour' or 'Touletre' ??

Lando Griffin

Or even Espace?

They could just give her a car as a publicity stunt.

I know a chap named Verso who tried to come to an arrangement with Toyota a few years ago, but they didn't want to know.

It could be worse ...this is how "Mercedes" effectively ceased to be a woman's name

"The name of my daughter has certain publicity characteristics that would be lost by using some other name. The name is both exotic and attractive. It can be easily pronounced and it sounds good. You can call these cars whatever you want, but the cars that I sell will be called Mercedes!”

Yeah, name is now reminiscent of a fat middle-aged bloke really.

[stalker mode on]There's only 2 Zoe Renaults on FB, and only one has a photo.



Thought she'd have a little Renault hate campaign going, if the Donegal VRT boys can do it, surely she could get on the case too!

Her name is Zoe Renault, not Renault Zoe.

If by some crazy fluke she got a mad judge that agrees with her, Renault should just stick an extra e onto Zoe and tell her to get ****ed.
