I know we sometimes on here, but this time I gotta say he’s right. How can any American car company expect to compete against those sweet, sweet Alliances, LeCars, Encores, and Fuegos?

Oh, wait. I forgot. Renault (pronounced Ren-ALT here, “in the case of France”) hasn’t sold cars in America since, oh, 1989. Sure, they collaborated with AMC/Jeep to design the XJ Cherokee and the Eagle Premier, but as far as cars sold as Renaults, we haven’t had those for, oh, three decades.

While he’s at it, I hope we do something about Panhard et Levassor and De Dion Bouton.

There you go. That’s the big problem with the economy: we’re getting clobbered by French cars that haven’t been sold here for 30 years. I sure hope we take care of that.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Lives Up To The Hype With Violent Speed
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Lives Up To The Hype With Violent Speed
You might hear the described “like riding a rollercoaster.” And it is, kind of. So imagine yourself on a 10-second carnival ride, holding a bomb with a 12-second timer, you’ll start to understand the sensation of firing this 840-horsepower fiend down a drag strip. It doesn’t matter if you believe...

For $2,500, Could This 1981 Mazda RX7 Make You Go Hmmm?
For $2,500, Could This 1981 Mazda RX7 Make You Go Hmmm?
Just like mama bear in the Goldilocks tale, today’s RX7 is just right—old enough to be a classic, but not too old to be a pain in the ass to drive. Let’s see if its price is fair to middling too. As was pointed out in the comments on yesterday’s...

The Saab 9-3 Viggen Was The Last Great True Saab
Say you’re in the market for a secondhand European hot hatchback, but seek something a little more interesting than a or a . Your options are scarce. Sure, you could try to import a Renault Clio V6 from France, but do you really want to get yourself into the hassle...

For $7,500, Would You Flash The Plastic For This 1970 Citroën Méhari?
For $7,500, Would You Flash The Plastic For This 1970 Citroën Méhari?
Can you think of any car more elemental than a Citroën Deux Chevaux? Well, today’s Méhari is a 2CV stripped of all pretensions, and you’ll now have to decide if its price should have someone paying that stripper. Yesterday’s was priced at a modest $2,500, and needed what the seller...

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody Still Wants To Kill You
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody Still Wants To Kill You
Dodge has a problem. The hilarious 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat is entering its fourth model year, and pretty much everybody who’s willing to spend $70,000 on one has one. And the 2018 Dodge Demon has stolen all the hype. The solution? , baby. That’ll teach you to say muscle cars can’t...
