IIRC, Chrysler bought Renault for the sole purpose of getting Jeep, because Renault had bought AMC which had the Jeep brand so then Renault had Jeep and Chrysler wanted it. It was something like that anyways. I remember the Renault Encore and Alliance. Both were pieces of you know what. I have to laugh, the Alliance was Motor Trend's 1983 Car of the Year. Seriously????????????????
BTW, I am an "old man" (54) that drives a Mustang for a summer daily driver. Would rather have a Challenger but even the oldest ones (2008?) are out of my price range. they seem to hold their value quite well so,,,,,,,,,to have a rear wheel drive 2 door car, it leaves one option, a Mustang.
