Aj_melbourne Posted 9, August 2013 Report Share Posted 9, August 2013 Hi All, Had my RS265 8:08 since end of last year. A trade up from my Alfa 147. Quite a trade up as it turned out! Love the car, but will be letting it go early as I have to move to the US with work soon Happy days for the dealer I will probably end up taking it back to soon. Anyone know what these go for in the US? Are they even released in the US? Happy motoring! AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exar Kun Posted 9, August 2013 Report Share Posted 9, August 2013 Welcome - sad that you have to let it go so soon. No Renaults in the US. They're only just catching onto the hot hatch thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj_melbourne Posted 9, August 2013 Author Report Share Posted 9, August 2013 Doh. I was hoping to get one cheaper to make up on what I'll lose this side! Oh well. Soccer mum SUV it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted 11, August 2013 Report Share Posted 11, August 2013 Sorry to hear you have to let the car go I've only seen one RS in the US. On a Fiat forum some guy photographed an R26 with his Abarth, it was borrowed from an auto museum. Don't know if you would get too much interest in a right hand drive though, not when you can get a leftie from Europe. Hot hatches are getting some attention over here so hopefully the market will improve. I can't drive the Abarth anywhere without someone stoping to ask me about it.

themarvel2004 Posted 12, August 2013 Report Share Posted 12, August 2013 No Renaults in the US. They're only just catching onto the hot hatch thing. They have the Focus ST and Mazda 3MPS & Golf GTi, but that is about it. I believe the new Fiesta might be making an appearance there though. Doesn't really fit in the USA though. If you want cheap thrills - Camaro - must be in yellow aka "BumbleBee". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
