Renault Talisman Announced, Will Replace Laguna, Latitude

French automaker Renault has officially announced a new name for its midsize sedan line, with the "Talisman" set to replace both the Latitude and Laguna when it debuts sometime towards the end of this year.

We won't have to wait that long to see it though, with its official unveiling set for July 6 and first public outing expected to be at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September

Renault says the new name will "assert the model’s powerful poise and the energy it radiates", and that "the combination of its robust, racy lines and innovative technologies express protection and safety".
