an_unusual_eye ◊ 2010-12-31 20:44	this does seem to be a GTA... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:87-Renault-GTA-Hardtop.jpg the impression that i get from wiki, as well as what we've established prior in the case of the one linked below, is that GTA becomes the model name for these rather than a trim level... comments..? /vehicle_113515-Renault-GTA-X42-1987.html

Scott version touted it as Alliance GTA, trying to use it as a halo car for the Alliance as it was intended. People do refer to it as Alliance GTA mostly to avoid ambiguity with the European Renault GTA, a two door, rear engine car sharing nothing with this car.
