We have Renault to thank for the Dacia Duster. Specifically, the automaker’s subsidiary, located in Romania, is responsible for this neat looking production vehicle, which is classified as a smaller kind of all terrain vehicle which will be launched in the markets for Europe as a whole, as well as Turkey and Maghreb.

The concept for this vehicle was only recently unveiled at Geneva’s 2009 motor show. The Duster is actually meant to respond to the unfulfilled need for an off road vehicle that is both affordable and economical.

I have to admit, I do not really have any use for an off road vehicle — although the economical and affordable bits I am quite fond of — but something about the overall look of the Dacia Duster makes me quite sad that it will not be launched on the United States market.
