It's 1990 and you're a greasy scumbag. Please select your coupe

the most impressive thing is that these jags were unreliable when they were NEW

Brits managed to make exciting, comfortable, good looking and fast cars but fuck me sideways they never fucking figured out reliability.

not OP, but...

Wheels too small, 80s design has aged worse than cheese left out in the sun, unreliable, poor quality BMW plasticky interior and thin wrinkly leather, limited to 155mph.

>Clearly a die-cast
>Starts arguing about being produced in small quantities

...

I'll wait a year and get this in 91

Maybe you should've said you were talking about the die cast then nigga
Truly patrician taste.
>tfw no french made large RWD GT coupe with the PRV in
God I FUCKING hate this place's laws.

>>tfw no french made large RWD GT coupe with the PRV in
don't give me excuses to cry about the 505 coupé user

it's hideously ugly

Gimme that Mark VII, I'll show those Europoors and Japs what MURRIKA MEANS.

That's every piece of British machinery ever manufactured.

I still dont understand this fucking passion of the All FWD in france.
The 505 was known to have excellent handling because of the 4 wheel independent suspension, and shit like the R25 would've been so much better in RWD.
I just dont fucking get it. There's no fucking logic behind it beyond poorfag one with "muh ff is cheap" but seeing how everyone got their shit plastered by germans and british in the upper markets it should really fucking ring a bell, damnit.

>There's no fucking logic behind it beyond poorfag one with "muh ff is cheap"
Somehow french manufacturers never understood what "upper market" means.Without the fuckton of marketing they lay out they'd be known as the European Hyundai.
>tfw no XM coupé AWD with turbo'd PRV

Fuck I triggered myself thinking about how they also didn't understand "affordable sports" either. Seriously doesn't this styling and silhouette scream RWD? Fuck I just want to experience something different from FWD hatches for once.

The weird thing is they did, somewhat.
The 505, R25 and CX/XM were all good premium cars, but that's it. They were good, while the 5 series and E klasse were great.
A big problem actually comes from the fucking laws. Due to our insane tax pricing on cars, no french manufacturer wanted to make powerful cars with rwd/awd because they cost a lot more in both insurance and tax (especially when the vignette system was in place).
It really killed everything when we had the potential to fuck up germans so fucking hard in our home market.
I think Renault planned to make the R25 AWD too, because there's this big ass empty tunnel under the passenger compartment that goes all the way to the rear axle and there's openings in the rear triangles that line up perfectly with the hub, as in they wanted to slap the Quadra system on it.
It just makes me sad, especially when nearly all the in house stuff PSA and Renault made until the '90s was fucking great.
They could've never been seen as european hyundai tho, reliability and quality (especially on drivetrains and suspension, bar renault's godawful longitudinal FWD gearbox) is good.
Renault turned to FF very early because they had turned to RR very early.
I'm wishing they'd have kept making RWD cars but the Fregate Fiasco basically made them go "nope" on any possibility of a pure Renault RWD.

Thanks for the info on the R25. Never rode in one.

...

The R25 is one of my favorite cars ever.
Renault really, REALLY should've made it anything other than FWD. The handling is good and safe but it would be improved tenfold if it didnt understeer like a pig under hard acceleration and cornering. The engines are literally all good, even the 2.1 diesel. The biggest weakpoint was the electronics and the gearboxes.
I did some research about the fucking unknown tunnel under the body but nothing came up. Mentioned nowhere but it is definitely there.
I would love to convert one to RWD or AWD if I have the chance.
If I do this I might as well make it a coupe too for shits and giggles.

Ante up, same car

Why do people love these cars? I've had a 900 turbo sedan and yes, the sitting position and visibility were nice. But it wasn't worth the constant mechanical and electrical problems

...

*beats wife*

...

...

*cuts wind*

It's from my shitty state

Well if I'm a greasy scumbag I might as well as drive the proper Italian Retard Out Cruising

i don't think a greasy scumbag could afford a 928. they msrp'd at roughly $100k in todays money

greasiest kid i knew owned one of these

Because they've never touched one. Personally I love the location of the turbo on them, it's hilarious.

Obviously the 6000 SUX with the Magnavolt anti theft device.

? those things are fucking sweet

this guy gets it

found the niggers

Fuck off to whatever reddit is devoted to "references! xD" you've crawled from. You were so absorbed in wanting to namedrop Robocop you didn't even realize that isn't a fucking coupe.

Actual niggers would love the 8-series.

sorry, i'm gaytarded. what car is this?

Renault Alpine

I will never own one

did that guy finally managed to sell this fine automobile?

...

Out of the ones in the OP pic? Mk VII easily

928: Belongs to an autistic but wealthy engineer who isn't married but pays for women to give him cleveland steamers in shady massage parlors.

Eunos Cosmo: Belongs to aging Japanese businessman who hates his wife and molests middle school girls whenever he rides the train.

Mark VII LSC: Driven by an Outlaws member who deals meth and child porn when the weather isn't good enough to ride his Harley.

youd be a literal retard to choose any over the 928

alpine a310.
REmeber a110 the rally fucking legend?
This is its younger brother.
French fucking MR tougemonster

those wheels look like the cheap hubcaps i use to hide my rusty steelies

>that 90 degree drop
ill never understand why they did this

A Toyota Century with a chauffeur. Because I'm a japanese scumbag who's gonna take your jobs.

Somebody just watched Regular Car Reviews.

...

You have surprisingly low reading comprehension.

He reviewed a century?

For what purpose? It's neither regular nor anything anybody buys except for its exclusive Japan distribution and even then hardly.

>greasy scumbag
Only option

It's all worth it for that sound.

Fuck off you fucking retard and never post ever again here. The car I posted is an Alpine GTA, and no it's not a "tougemonster" you dumb memer.
>actual late A310 for reference

Not only everything you said but It also isn't MR it's RR. Like every Alpine road car until the new A110. That one user was beyond retarded.

Can this be an Alpine thread now?

It’s not an Alpina B12 5.7
