Currently reading: Dacia head of design leaves after less than a year

Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos will be temporarily replaced by Renault Group Global Access design chief David Durand

Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos has left his position as head of design at Dacia, less than a year after joining the company from sibling brand Renault.

Mesonero-Romanos, who served as design chief for Renault Group’s Global Access arm before Renault boss Luca de Meo promoted him in July, will be temporarily replaced by current Global Access design chief David Durand.

Renault has yet to confirm who will be appointed to the position for the long term and has not given a reason for Mesonero-Romanos’ departure.

A spokesperson told Autocar they were unable to comment beyond confirming Durand’s appointment to an interim role.

Prior to joining Dacia, Mesonero-Romanos had charge, under design vice president Laurens van den Acker, of designing affordable cars for developing countries through the Global Access project.

Before that, he was design director at Seat, where he oversaw design of the hugely successful Ateca, Arona and Tarraco SUVs, as well as the latest Ibiza and Leon hatchbacks, winning the Eurostars Award in Design in 2018 for his work reviving the company’s lines.

His most recent unveiling was the Dacia Bigster concept. Described as “the Dacia way of making the C-segment accessible”, the rugged machine - which will enter production in 2024 - epitomises, in Mesonero-Romanos’ words, “the evolution of the Dacia brand”.

Blessings to everyone. My review here is to inform you all about using spells to win liege sums of money in your sports bets and lottery games. I've been reluctant about spells because everything seems too good to be true until I was referred to Dr Amber by an ex co-worker of mine he helped to win the lottery. I was amazed about it and I took the risk because I've been playing sports bets for more than 15 years without winning huge sums. I told Dr Amber I needed to win my sports betting and he accepted my request and prepared a spell for me and also directed me on how to place my bets on my next game. I did as he said and after the game was played, I checked my ticket to see if I was able to win any of the games I played and I saw that I won all my sports bets to receive the sum of 65,000,000 Million Pounds. Now, I've verified that Dr Amber is  a gifted and great man with genuine powers. He's reachable on WA +12096910783 or phone +13183065044 or email: amberlottotemple @ yahoo . com
