In the world of French exports, from Asterix to madeleine, the Renault 5 E-Tech emerges as the latest small and spirited creation. Hagerty delves into the host's deep-rooted affection for compact French hatchbacks, particularly his cherished Renault Clio 182. While acknowledging the unmatched driving thrill of his Clio, he eagerly anticipates whether the new Renault 5 can capture the same essence of fun and affordability. With a nod to the Renault 5's rich history and popularity in France, the stage is set for its potential reintroduction to the American market, fueled by nostalgia and innovation.
