 the Sentra, which uses the Megane or C platform.

 There has been some discussion that Chrysler may rebadge some Renault B-
 and C- cars to fill the gaping hole in their product line, ie the absence of
 any small, fuel-efficient vehicles.

Don't get me wrong this is a VERY small car. However the doors shut with a 
reassuring thump.

The original crossover if you don't count the Scout fastback back in the 60s

Actually the Megane is a very popular and decently built car. Back in the UK
there were millions of them. I'm not keen on the shape of the hatchback of
the Megane but many people are.

These are not your father's Renaults.hmmm, where have I heard that
before?

Pshaw.  The Eagle was a unibody design.  A beefed-up passenger car
with a truck AWD system, not a truck with cosmetic changes to make it
look like a car if you squinted.
