    Nice Price. It looks like the lovechild of a '90s 300ZX and a Gremlin, and the PRV wasn't that bad for its time. The DeLorean's only real flaw was its weight!

    @Fluffy, Pushbroom: I feel that this is generally more desirable than the R5 we had the other day, that you wouldn't have to be insane to add miles to it, and that it's bat-shit crazy in the first place. Parts availability be damned this time around.

    For all the bitchin' and moaning, it's running away with "Nice Price!" which means those of us who said Yes! to this French eccentricity just smiled, voted, and moved on.

    It's French, it's fast, you'll look good broken down on the side of the road, it's rare as hell, it's relatively cheap, you'll confuse the hell out of everybody, it looks like something out of an 80s computer game, and weird French mechanics will be your best friend. And all that can be yours for the price of a 4cyl Camry. Nice Price.

    For what you'd spend on removing that abortion of a bodykit, you could probably buy and import (under that DOT 25 years and older exemption) a museum-quality stocker from Europe. Pass the pipe.

    Not a good price, even for a nice one. These are slow (no turbo) and are really only good for the awesome styling. And this one's ruined with a nasty bodykit. Cracky-crack-crack.

    If I was rich, I'd buy it just to rescue it from that horrid body kit. With the original body and a fresh coat of French Racing Blue, it would be a sweet ride.

    What is French for "ricer"?


    The Renault Alpine is rare enough that a seller could ask pretty much whatever he wants for it. If there is someone out there that wants one, they either buy it, or wait a couple more years until another one comes up for sale.


    The body kit has me torn. It's hideous, but somehow perfect on this car.


    Save for the lack of a pickup bed, this car is Jalopnik. Nice price.

    Yet another car on here that is influenced by toy cars I had as a kid. These things are just so radical looking and cool that I couldn't pass it up at this price.

    $24K for an A310 is a good deal, despite the body kit designed by an 8th grader.


    The bigger question is; this thing's in Los Angeles, how in the hell do you get it through DOT and to pass the smog test without dumping another 24 grand into it?


    Owning a car like this in California is like a pedophiliac siamese twin brother; you'll be hunted by the authorities, and shunned by the norms. Be cause of this, I'm going to go booth numéro deux.

    Well, if I voted nice price for the R5 Turbo, then an A310 V6 with bonus ugliness gets some love too.

    Looks like a kit car, and it's French.


    Seriously, two French cars in a row? either Murilee has become a cheese-eating surrender monkey or he REALLY needs to put down the pipe.

    The body kit ruins it for me. So eighties. I would have liked to have seen it in an unmolested state.

    @SCROGGZILLA RAIDS COMMAS!!: Thanks for the picture. The rims don't seem to match the car, but I like it much better than the red eye-searer I was exposed to earlier.
