Zoe Renault to Renault: " Don't name that car Zoe! "

May 25th 2010,

French automaker, Renault, is being pressured to scuttle the name of its coming

Zoe electric car - by a French woman named Zoe Renault.

Autocar reports that the 23-year-old Parisian has even hired lawyers to demand

that Renault drop the EV's name. Amazingly, this is not the first time a French

woman named Zoe has launched a complaint against the Gallic auto giant.

Reportedly, this latest Zoe Renault told Le Parisien newspaper: " I could not

bear to hear: 'Zoe's broken down' or 'We need to get Zoe overhauled'. "

Autocar says Zoe's lawyer Koubbi will take the case to court unless

Renault changes the name.

The Zoe - which " life " in Greek - will launch in 2012. A Renault spokesman told

the UK news outlet that the name was not a " definitive choice " .
