You should know by now that being a spy photographer has its ups and downs. After an Audi tester so graciously finger-waved one of our scoopsters in March, it’s time for one of his colleagues from Dacia to perform the flipping gesture that traces its roots back to antiquity and classic Greek comedy.

Moving our attention from the passenger to the car itself, what we have here is the next generation of the Dacia Sandero, which is a Fiesta-sized supermini sold in several markets around the world.

In some countries including Brazil and Argentina, the Sandero is offered under the Renault nameplate.

The full-size supermini will share its slightly larger underpinnings as well as the diesel and petrol engine lineup with the upcoming Logan budget sedan, which we spied last week.

Both models are expected to launch sometime next year.
