French term or phrase: baroudeur
Hello!

I am unable to translte the term "baroudeur" in the following segment:

Mauvais choix de l’adhésif sur J84 Baroudeur au démarrage sur section technique.

I found the following link in google search:

http://www.xelopolis.com/blog/index.php/post/313-Future-Rena...

I guessed it may be "Hatchback".

Thanks in advance

Explanation:
It's an all terrain car, not specifically a hatchback. A hatchback only refers to the type of trunk that the car has.

Explanation:
Perhaps there's a dot missing in your sentence.
If it is a list of characteristics/comments on a vehicle, it would read:
- Mauvais choix de l'adhésif sur J84
- Baroudeur au démarrage sur section technique
What do you think?

If so, "baroudeur" would mean something like "fast", "audacious", "adventurous"....

Perhaps.

neutral  CynthiaPiaud: Hi. Well I have tried, actually, but I cannot find anything on the Internet saying there's a car model called "Baroudeur". Sorry :( / Thanks for the link. It's interesting but still doesn't say anywhere that the car name's "Baroudeur". Bizarre.
