so can this thing really reach 120-140 kmh? |

Yes, like all the cars sold in Europe since 30 years I think... The basic version of the 70s had 120 km/h as top speed, but those of the 80s reach nearly 140. The TS version reaches 154. The Alpine 175 and the Alpine Turbo 187, still for the same small car body Even 200 km/h for the Renault 5 Turbo, but that one had rear-engine and widened body. |

His/her comment were half wrong/half right. |

@ Baube: The Renault Cinq (1) / Le Car were all imported: the first North-American build Renault model was the 1983-87 Alliance (fr). _____ 1: Wikimedia and Wikipedia (fr) call it La Cinq, but it's clearly and simply called Cinq in this ad (Ah, Robert Charlebois... ) and this one, like in France. Which is confirmed by this paper ad or this one. And in fact by all Quebecois video ads for this car The 'La' in Wikipedia comes certainly from a misreading of this kind of decals. The Wikimedia category was just created accordingly... |

/vehicle_187589-Renault-16-R1150-1968.html i knew i saw that some Renault were built here.. but wasn't for the 5 |

My bad, the Alliance was the first US-build Renault model: the first vehicles that Renault manufactured in North-America were indeed Quebecois. They were made from 1967 onward in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville (fr) and were the 8, 10 and 16. But only assembled as CKD (fr), and alongside some Peugeot 404 and 204 sedans. The 12 was made there too (1971+), and some parts of the US Le Car were apparently also made in that factory (fr), which was closed in 1974. -- Last edit: 2017-08-06 16:57:13 |

nice vintage ads.. still weird to see Renault and Peugeot building cars in the same building... |

@ Baube: Well, remember that Citroën belonged to Michelin, at that time, so it would also have been strange to see Citroën and Peugeot together. And even if a weird idea (the RNUR was a state company, while Peugeot was a pure familial society), they also tried an association in France from 1966 onward (fr). This one gave at least 3 common engines (from the then commonly owned Française de Mécanique (fr): the X, the Douvrin and the V6 PRV, the latter with Volvo) and 2 cars based on the same platform (the 104 gave a part of it "underwear" to the Renault 14). But the 2 other projects for a medium and a large platform didn't succeed. That's the "Realpolitik" one can find in automotive industry: don't forget that today small Mercedes-Benz use Renault engines while some BMWs are propelled by Peugeot engines, and keep in mind that the next MB CLA will most probably be made in a Nissan plant (which is not such an illogical idea, in fact, as Renault/Nissan and Mercedes-Benz have already some models in common...). And I'll stop here, the list of bizarre mixes is really long -- Last edit: 2017-08-18 05:18:02 |

that explains ( in part ) why Michelin is written on that DS monster -- Last edit: 2017-08-18 07:15:51 |

@ Baube: The 1972 Mille-pattes was made by Michelin to test their truck tires. It sounds indeed logical that they use a Citroën car for it and that they then put their company name on it. But except the general shape, there's not a lot from a DS inside (fr) -- Last edit: 2017-08-21 07:39:25 |
