[edit] Removed original research

In line with policy and guidelines (see WP:NOR and WP:ATT) I've removed a chunk of recently added info. I've copied it below in case anybody can find a usable reference for it so it can be included in some form. – Kieran T ^(talk) 21:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Sales in North America were further hampered by the appearance of 3 relatively new features that were considered very dangerous. My father sold Renault cars in northern Ontario in the early 70's and here are the issues, along with the common wisdom of the time:

• Front wheel drive "When the tires spin on a corner, you will go off the road and be killed!"
• Radial tires "Yes, they hold better, but when you hit the limit there is no warning. You will go off the road and be killed!"
• Halogen head-lights: "Yes you can see better, but you will blind the on-coming driver, who will go off the road, and be killed!"

They also had tires from a French company that nobody had heard of called Michelin ... who in America would drive on French tires? Bempey 20:22, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mexico

The Renault 12 was sold in mexico also, they're not too rare. Maybe worth mentioning along with other south american countries. It was probably sold here until 1984, when Renault left Mexico. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.146.62.38 (talk) 02:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
