It has been many decades since the little lion has been sold in NA! Last one I saw here was around the early 70’s or watching reruns of Colombo or the Taxi movies. French cars got a bad rep here and have yet to come back. We had a Renault assembly plant in my town (64 to 72) but it never swayed me to buy a French car. I do see a few R5 Turbo's in attendance at old car shows. On the other hand if I would be in Europe for a few months they would be tempting to try out/lease.



And what’s wrong with calling a car by its color instead of calling out a few mixed up letters of the alphabet?
Designed by Pininfarina, cute car and looks great in silver. Our car was silver wiithout the ugly sunroof..
