Crème Brûlée with your Sushi?

I just got a new Car and Driver mag, there's an article about driving a 2018 Alpine A110 (mid-engine, RWD, 2 passenger coupe) in the French Alps.  A paragraph at the end caught my eye - see if you get the same chuckle as I did.

" While the A110 almost certainly won't be sold in the U.S., we can at least fantasize that it could.  Europe's crash and emissions standards are close enough to ours these days to mean a federally compliant version could be possible.  Distribution would be more of a challenge, but Alpine is technically a separate brand from Renault.  It could sell the A110 out of the back of a few well-chosen Nissan franchises - or just go ahead and put Z badges on it..."

Neat car but not very Z like in its styling. More like an Audi
