    AUTOMATIC           If you’ve been to the Woodward Dream Cruise in recent years, among other shows, you may have seen this car. I admit that it takes a certain mentality to dub it a classic, but it is indeed one of just 3,000 or so sold in North America between 1981 and 1983. Powered by an 81.5hp, 86lb-ft 1.6-liter hemi-head four-cylinder engine mated to a 3-speed ZF automatic, this front-wheel-drive 18i offers leisurely performance but excellent fuel economy. I have seen 33mpg on the highway, and have never attained less than 25mpg overall. Not surprising; this car weighs just 2,261lbs. Surprisingly for its day, the engine is equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. A computer controls, at least partially, the transmission, and 1-2 shifts are usually silky smooth, with 2-3 shifts a touch more pronounced. NVH (noise/ vibration/ harshness) from the engine bay, as a result of the engine itself; the cooling fan, and other ancillaries, is from another era. There are, however, no major squeaks or rattles from the interior, which still - rather unbelievably - has an ever-so-slight whiff of new-car smell about it. If you have ever driven this model (or many a French car, in general), you hardly need me to tell you that the ride is fantastic (particularly for a vehicle of such a short wheelbase); throttle steerability, mid-corner, is enthusiastic, and - like the best of French cars - she rolls copiously but grips tenaciously. In the rare instance when I have been caught in the rain in this car, I have found the grip to be absolutely outstanding: a real riot. It’s a rather more progressive car to drive at the limit than was the period BMW 320i to which Renault compared the 18i. The steering itself (power-assisted, 2.9 turns lock-to-lock) is phenomenal: good feel on-center, with immediate response off-center. The stabilizer at the rear makes this car surprisingly agile; perhaps nervous in a sense, if one is not accustomed to the benign, yet substantive, roll. I've never in an automobile sat in such compliant fauteuils; would that those who designed the couches in my living room held my comfort in quite so conscientious a regard.  Back in the 1950s, Renault was the largest auto importer in the United States. When its rear-engined Dauphine was supplanted by the Volkswagen Beetle as the import of choice, however, Renault would plunge toward obscurity in North America, a situation that changed only when it bought into AMC (American Motors Corp.) in the late-70s. In the face of the second gas crisis of the decade, the two companies decided to jointly produce a front-wheel-drive car. Renault had long been an expert in front-wheel-drive (since the 1969 R16), and AMC had not the capital to independently move to this more efficient drivetrain. While the new front-wheel-drive car - internally dubbed X42 and later to debut as the Alliance - was under development, Renault used AMC distributors to advance its LeCar hatchback (R5), and to import its midsize sedan: the R18, fuel-injected for America as the 18i. R18 had debuted in Europe for 1977, at the 1976 Paris Motor Show, under the theme, “meeting international requirements.” The R18 was built as a global car long before the Ford Contour was ever conceived. Drawing on its R12 predecessor, R18 was designed to please everyone, everywhere. Europeans immediately balked at the apparent mainstreaming of Renault design, but Renault stood firm; R18’s more modern wedge design was, it insisted, a natural process of evolution. Renault brought its R18 to the United States for the 1981 model year as the 18i, available only with an 81.5hp, 86lb-ft, 1647cc gasoline hemi-head engine. Underneath were upper transverse arms and reaction arms with lower control arms and coil springs at the front, and a beam axle with coil springs and anti-roll bar at the rear. "When there is a car from the country that created the Concorde…," the first ad for the 18i began. Unfortunately enough, the little that existed of the European R18’s French character had been Americanized to a point of confusion in the 18i. Thank AMC for the chrome-strip adjustments, while Renault was forced to adhere to sealed-beam and bulky-bumper regulations. The 18i took on the look of a caricature of an American car. The 18i was neither here nor there. Car and Driver called it a "chauvinistically French machine imbued with true character" (Car and Driver, December 1980), yet the truth was that its French-ness presented itself as neither emotionally flawed, nor stylistically brilliant. It was, quite simply, different – and, unfortunately enough, different from what buyers had expected. The 18i was hardly going to endear itself to any in-crowds. Paradoxically, the R18 became one of Renault’s most successful models in Europe, yet Americans stayed away in droves: despite Renault's mainstreaming efforts, it still looked, to American eyes, too odd. Moreover, parts availability was patchy, despite distribution through AMC dealerships. Sales of the 18i were disappointing, but Renault went ahead with the R18-based Fuego coupé all the same. Priced at about the level of a top-line 18i sedan, the egg-shaped Fuego was a little slow and weird-looking, but played to an emerging front-wheel-drive two-door market as the new layout picked up steam with enthusiasts. Fuego proved rather more popular than its sedan cousin.  1983 - the year that the Fuego received a turbo - was the last year of the 18i sedan. It was a pity, for the R18 Turbo over in Europe was debuting to rave reviews. The late, great LJK Setright, writing for CAR magazine, dubbed it the "fastest car in the real world." When Renault sold AMC to Chrysler in 1987, the R18 in Europe was replaced by the R21 (briefly sold here by Chrysler as the Eagle Medallion), which was eventually usurped by the Renault Laguna, a car which continues in the European market today  .jpg)    SEE THIS LINK http://www.valvulaecologica.com/r_18.html
