Is Logan post-modern?

Question opened after a debate extremely enlivened during a drink
The Logan is a vehicle commercialised under mark Dacia, only mark of Romanian cars. This is a clever subterfuge of marketeurs from Renault not to tarnish French mark with this low-cost model.
This model originates owed - is saying - be sold only in the emergent markets. To reduce production costs at the farthest, most rooms of the car was not specifically conceived for this model but are "recovered" by other more ancient models. No design was little accomplished or, the car loads no electronics, contents itself with minimal comfort and respects necessary strict in term of norms of European securities.
She is seedy, no in term of performance and not comfortable and however she enjoys an indisputable blockbuster in our Western European countries!
Arguments of the purchasers are:
- she answers the first need to transport himself;
- it is possible to repair it the same is seen that it is that of the mechanics;
- she is accessible.
Then, PP or not PP?
Comments of the Readers
Is it equipped with origin by the device introduced in the small film of the comment 11 of debate on fixing things?
For those who do not remember it any more or did not look at him:
I I would say, " yes ", in a sense at least, because she marks however a sacred turn in the evolution of cars, a kind of flashback, therefore, somewhere, an adjournment of the typically modern "progressive" imagination.
But attention, this remains of course an object of consumption as others (just perhaps more adapted to the evolution of the customers, to the emergence of a new type of purchasers), intended to be bought by the biggest number on the whole planet.
Difficult to cut therefore.
" A sacred turn ", yes, you are undoubtedly right, has it that to see the photo!!!
Say Yats therefore, you would not merge a bit PP and PM?
Let us say, indeed, that she is PM but not PP! 
At the same time the worry of the aesthetics it is nevertheless very "Post-modern !
She has a "hyper-rational" side which is jolly very "modern , to look really there.
I therefore change the mind (and would be held there, at least for a while, by waiting for your positions which will perhaps move me forward):
Logan is after reflexion in spite of misleading appearance "hyper-modern" (in its logic), "post-modern" form in a way of the "modernity".
With the photo, they understand better why this car " Le Dahut is nicknamed.
Personally, I see a vehicle there nothing else than modern, logical fruit of the system of production and of consumption in its remarkable adaptibilit on changeable conditions.
It was necessary to find a parade in the conquering strategy of the business company Indian Auntie who plans for some time to attack the Western markets thanks to a very cheap vehicle. The poor people becoming more and more, they become a bearing market by their simple number and as there are not small benefits, every good capitalist has to to take into account all what can generate where from Logan. Other business companies also envisage their cheap models.
But, considering infatuation for these models except norms and of the danger which they represent for true cars , the specialists of marketing are forced to invent improbable strategies to limit their sale in the rich countries, by managing so that with some gadjets in more they could compete only very modestly, in the final, with the "normal" models.
The only post-modern aspect of the thing appears to me to be the limit point which contradictions of the system show by introducing this nonstandard vehicle and the door which is so opened for other products of the same type which risk introducing nonetheless a grain of sand consequences of which are not really foreseeable.
I get information, at present, regarding the vehicle from compressed air which is sensible enter on the market shortly.
I also find that it is interesting to follow the evolution of this grain of sand.
it is a little confused for me difference between postmodernism and PP, I want a complement of information.
For me, the Logan is part of this fashion where they like the return to true stocks as mechanics which works, a felt and rural but functional car.
A bit as these chains of bakery caput way 
Worries which I see and desolate there, ca it is not PP of the whole but it is what makes that I do not like this concept, it is that no RD on this vehicle is produced and if therefore the concept on all models then was pushed we would have ford every of T
Qu saco RD svp Yats ?
forgiveness: research and development
You think that you is not also going should produce RD on this type of vehicle? I well have an impression on the contrary that the clever babies who will have the idea of making it are going to take the advance on their rivals at the hour which comes. It is a new seam to be exploited to this, no?

Dear Mister DURAND,
I am upset to learn you that my darling takes me for a walk only in 205 convertible GTI. He is not therefore interested by your garbage can.
Besides, he too much likes the maitresse that I follow to have several of it.
You would be therefore very kind to give me the precise address of your concession so that I burst the tyres of all your Logan in retaliation for your trombi re of woman who dares to carry eyes on my beloved Yats !
I do not greet you, and cease importuning us.
