I love John Davis... 'Foo-egg-oh'

A friend of mine worked at a Chevrolet dealership that took on a Renault franchise. What a nightmare. As bad as many of the Chevrolet products were in the early 80’s, the Renault’s were way worse. My favorite story that he told was about a woman who bought a Fuego and couldn’t get any satisfaction out of her complaints. She eventually pasted lemon stickers all over it and kept driving it around on the dealership’s lot.

I've always wanted an IROC-Z. But I'd take either of them right now. Anything but a garbage CROSSOVER

Renault could never really succeed here. Not sure if there are many used ones even left in the US.The IROC was something many loved. I sold them back in the 80’s in Staten Island NY ( hence the name Italian Retart Out Cruising) and for the time they were hot cars. Sure they had their issues but they were still fun. When the 5.7 TPI was finally offered it was a four passenger Vette. Crazy thing was not to long ago you could’ve found decent used ones pretty cheap. Now used IROC’s are starting to pull some strong numbers. Thanks for the throwback memory!!

I bought a used 84 Turbo Fuego in 87. It was a fun little car but it did have a few quirks. The one I couldn't live with was the 15 1/2 inch rims. There was only one tire available and it was Michelin.

The iroc-z Camaro is a well rounded performance cAr

Isn't it funny how a car that did 0-60 in 9.5 seconds was once considered a performance car, and now it's considered to be too slow to safely drive on the highway?

At the very beginning, during the segue, he says, "Like GM's luxury project." What is he talking about?

He pronounces Fuego the same way Juliana Hatfield does in “My Sister.”

Those Fuego cars are extinct. I haven't seen one in 25 years on the road.

Ah yes, the FoohueygO. Not as reliable as the Cam-Ray 😂

This was 1985. Turbo was dropped after 84.

What's aluminum?

notice Renault 0-60 9.5 and 1/4 mile 17.4 Camaro 0-60 7.1 and 1/4 mile 14.7 Renault wasn't trying to build a fast car

It must have been a typo because there's no way that an IROC what's 215 horsepower had such a slow 0 to 60 time in such a low quarter mile

Lol I had a brand new Renault Alliance in highschool. It was in the shop broken down every month.

Too bad Chevy never made a budget performance car, I hate the tacked on looks of the Iroc and the Z28. And why did they need two performance models? Both were available with the tpi engines but after 84 only the Iroc could get the L69/5 spd.

Fa-away-go

My stepbrother had an IROC -dumped thousands into repairs. 🙄

Renault is why there aren't any French brands in the US anymore. look how bad they do Nissan

The Chevrolet ia Very better. Fuego is a Renault 18, a trash
