The return of Renault 5/Le Car?
http://www.insideline.com/renault/re...nt-le-car.html
- Renault is weighing the development of a premium supermini inspired by the 1972 R5, which was marketed in the U.S. in the mid-1970s as Le Car.
- Positioned as a chic alternative to Citroen's DS3, BMW's Mini and Fiat's 500, Renault executives believe a latter-day R5 would complement the next-generation Twingo city car and the fourth-generation Clio, itself a descendant of the original R5.
- The Renault 5 was the first modern supermini with its three-door hatchback layout, and is still considered a styling tour-de-force in Europe where it was a best-seller for much of the 1970s.

European Renault 5 was much nicer than American Renault LeCar (even with them being pretty much the same car). I still see them on the streets from time to time.

From Seinfeld...
My father had a car salesman buddy. He was gonna fix him up real nice. Next thing I know, I’m gettin’ dropped of in a Le Car with a fabric sunroof. All the kids are shoutin’ at me, "Hey, Le George! Bonjour, Le George! Let’s stuff Le George in Le Locker!"
