Why do you like shitty cars?

as an american, you may not understand the appeal of a 750 cc 34 hp shitbox with different wheelbases left and right, but i do. i appreciate french cars because they feel like they don't take themselves seriously at all. They used to have creativity in their engineering, making them a treat for a mechanical engineer like me. Maybe you'd get it if you drove a few miles with a shitty car like that. Yes, it's bad, it's slow and it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't feel like any other car. It's got character.

Thanks for asking btw, almost forgot myself why I like my shitty old 4CV.

Not just to Americans. Just about every sane person on the planet. Imagine channeling shekel saving so hard that you make weird design choices like having different wheelbases. But in doing so having to make twice as many suspension parts because French and gay, and totally negating any build savings.

Ok. I get it you like retarded cars. I also like retarded cars. Mainly 60's and early 70's American muscle cars. They don't do anything well except go fast in a straight line. But at least they look cool. The older French and gay cars look like a retarded poor man's VW Bug.

those are nice to look at, ngl

incorrect. Those Renaults have the same suspension arm left and right, just offset longitudinally by a few centimeters.

they did it because they wanted the rear wheels completely independent of each other, like this

Also funny is how they installed the shock absorber as horizontally as they could, so it doesn't intrude into the trunk. You won't find a car today with as many funny little ideas as you could back then in France.

Anyway we are arguing over a low quality bait troll post made by (((anglos))). They are not wrong that the French made surprisingly many models with weird solutions, but overall very many boring and average cars were built and sold by them, too. Mainly Peugeot, see 403, 404, 504, 505 for normal sedans and wagons, and 205, 104 for cheap shitboxes. Since the 90s it's basically the same hatchback all over Europe, no matter what brand.
