I believe you may have to make a sacrificial offering to Steve Jobs, perhaps an old IBM PC you can "slaughter upon the stone".

How about an interim stumper, that those of us at a certain age remember and would like to forget, and the youngsters have probably never heard of.

So what might this finely tuned beast be?

And its the Turbo version, so you had a throbbing 107 French hp to work with, lawnmowers truly cowered in the face of such a Gallic onslaught.

Drove one of these back in 1984 when they hit the market here with the turbocharged engine, so hopeless. But AMC/Renault sent me a postcard inviting me to enter the TURBO ZONE, so I just had to check one out for a giggle.

For the day, they were at least styled decently enough. There was even a wagon on the same platform, the '18' IIRC - sold here in the U.S., too.
