There hasn't been a new Avatar of any kind since the advent of the uber expensive design your own, I suspect that wasn't accidental and my suspicions are that the bean counters have decided there is too little return on the 'investment'. The only possible exception IMO is if a sponsor pays for one e.g. Lexus did last year. Therefore, while I support the logic of your call for a French avatar, to use an old cliche, "Don't hold your breath."
