The Renault doesn't meet North American clean air standards. Or Renault hasn't bothered to get it tested to see if it would pass is the more likely problem. Importing any car that was never sold here is a problem. Of course you could have brought a vintage Renault R5 rally car. I had a late friend John Kelly (raced with Bob Tullius's Group 44 team) who until his death a few years ago drove one on the street. Kent Gittings

When we moved over to Canada in July, we weren't allowed to bring our 1.8 litre, less than two year old, petrol sipping Renault with us - because - "It doesn't conform with the North American Standard" i.e. The engine size is less than 4 litre, it weighs less than 4000kg and does more than 8 gallons to the mile What we _were_ allowed to import was a 1977 triumph stag with a +/- 3 litre engine that runs on high octane leaded fuel. (and weighs about twice as much as the Renault) And what choice did we have when wanting to buy a replacement here? Dobbin' big people carriers or pickup trucks.....with automatic transmission!!!! Ideal for snowy, icy conditions, I don't think. Or maybe it doesn't snow in Canada?? Having aired that, I'm off to beddy bo bos night all, Wendy - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
