Top 10 French cars we remember

Citroën Traction Avant: A car that pioneered FWD, unibody construction and the four-wheel independent suspension.

Citroën DS: At the time, a futuristic car with an aerodynamic shape and a self-levelling hydraulic suspension.

Peugeot 205: This is the car that saved the brand in the early 80s. Also, 205 GTI!

Peugeot 405: One of the last Pugs sold in North America. And how about that Pininfarina styled body?

Peugeot 504: A car that excelled in rough terrain and displayed exceptional reliability.

Renault Alpine A110: Not exactly a Renault as it was built by Alpine using many Renault parts. Also, very sexy.

Renault Clio: One of the best-selling cars in Europe. Many special versions including the Williams and the V6.

Renault 4: Considered the first mass-produced hatchback and built in response to the 2CV.

Renault 5: Sold as LeCar in North America, the R5 also benefitted from many cool versions such as the Turbo and the Gordini.
