I loved some of the Renault line, that being a prime example. Not available in the US of course. We got the ridiculously foppish, tippy-toed Le Car painted up like an overblown Fisher-Price toy. There were awesome variants of the R5, which was the name by which the rest of the world knew that vehicle, very few of which looked so silly.
Renault deserved to be run out of the market for that and later abominations in concert with the failing AMC, but they did and do make desirable cars. We just didn’t get many of them.

I’m fairly certain Alpine built them all, basically for homologation, so they weren’t imported through normal Renault channels. They were available though. That one in the pic was my second 85 evo model.
