How Euro-arrogant!!! If I am not mistaken the Plymouth/Chrysler/Dodge Minivans were the first MPV/minivans. The Espace just happened to be the first from a European manufacturer. Someone should fix this. I will if no one else does. chris 05:03, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Chrysler MPVs where introduced in 1984 the same year than the Renault Espace. I don't know which one was the first on the market. However the Matra project was seriously differed when Simca (Matra's partner) was sold to Peugeot. Thus I think Matra created the concept. BTW who sold Simca to Peugeot ? Answer : Chrysler.

Actually, I think you are both wrong, and I never understand why people (especially magazines/TV) praise the Espace so much. The Mitsubishi Chariot (Space Wagon in Europe) came out in 1983. I'm pretty sure that's an MPV too! --Zilog Jones 01:08, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

The Renault Espace allowed to add/remove seats or change their layout was it allowed on it's competitors ? Ericd 1 July 2005 19:55 (UTC)

• Ever heard of the Fiat Multipla ? was there in the sixties ...Hektor 20:27, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Except that the first multipla was NOT a MPV... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.132.242.1 (talk) 13:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

This posting is on July 28, 2006. I plan to rent a minivan in France in August 2006, and Hertz shows their 7 passenger minivan as the Espace or equivalent. I wil be traveling with a group that includes a handicapped person who uses a scooter to get around. Can anyone tell me if the space behind the third seat in the Espace is large enough to accomodate a scooter? Better yet, does anyone have one, and can you give me the actual dimension from the third seat back to the door? Thanks very much! My email address is LTansil@bellsouth.net.

I believe the chassis design was the real inovation, not how many people it could carry around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.132.242.1 (talk) 11:16, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Knuttebasse

The Espace was originally intended to be sold as a Knuttebasse

Can anybody help me with this word?!? What does it mean? Feinmotoriker 12:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PSA and the Citroën Evasion/Peugeot 806

Hello I think this piece haves nothing to do with the Espace article ??

'PSA decided the Espace was too expensive and too risky a design to put into production, and Matra took their idea to Renault (PSA finally ventured into the minivan sector eleven years later with the Citroën Evasion/Peugeot 806).'

KInd Regard, Stef
