Why spend money on new and duplicative development, if there is such a wonderful thing as badge-engineering? Take the car and are already being manufactured by the emblems of plywood and a small improvement, taking into account the specifics of a given market, is transformed into an entirely new model. This was the case with the Renault Koleos and the Safrane, so was the case with the new French leader, dubbed the Renault Latitude.
