We love the mid-engined Renault R5 Turbo. The flared and steroidal Le Car is simply one of the most badass econobox derivatives ever created. There's one in the Great White North that's been imported from France. At $10k now, and it hasn't hit reserve, but think about the potential hoonage to be had in this spooled-up wee pocket rocket. Shivers! [Thanks to Scotto for the tip.]
