The first one was a Renault 18, the second an R21, also called a Medallion, here in the States.
Hey, they won the F1 World championship ...

Hello All,
Don't get the idea that I unconditionally prefer a US nameplate vehicle. When Detroit wasn't making an economical, Pattern plane sized station wagon, I bought import. 
It wasn't a brand many of you would have considered, and I got a quarter million miles out of it, so I bought another, right after. I got a quarter million miles out of that one too.

 I'm with you Dean. I prefer Fords. I have had better luck with my US cars than my 91 Toyota Previa, and 2 Honda's. I now have a 2003 Windstar that I love and a 97 Taurus that has been extremly reliable. One other factor is pricing with all the incentives I bought a pretty well equiped Windstar for $21,500 in 2003. That is money that equates to a real savings over the Honda or the Toyota which sell at a premium price. I for one can't justify the price difference. I hope people keep hating American cars so I can continue to get them cheap. Thanks to all who are helping me out. Mike

Detroit has honest-to-for-really turned their act around ... and they don't get credit for it!
My Grand Caravan with the Stow n'Go seats is a marvellously practical vehicle.
