- Welcome to my new webpage devoted to the 1983-1987 AMC/Renault Alliance, and specifically the convertible model. I've always been fond of these underrated and overlooked little cars. My first car in high school was an 83 Alliance sedan. It was comfy with an excellent ride and completely computerized engine. Unlike most people I liked the quirky Euro-features of this Americanized French design.www.outreach.psu.edu/users/res122/renault
