Edmondson, Gail (2005) Got $5,000 Euros BUSINESS WEEK, 7/4, P. 49

Got $6,000 US dollars to buy a new Car? It is a no-frills LOGAN by Renault. It is a roomy 4 door sedan that cost half as much as a comparable Western car. It has 75 horses with its first factory in Romania.

It has already sold 175,000 cars and hopes to sell 1 million in 5 years. No robots are used to build the car, rather 2nd world employees that work for cheap. The interior panel is bare and the windshield is straight without curves.

Nearly 30 extras are removed so that it becomes the McDonalds of automobiles. The design is still pretty and the price is even more attractive.
