Renault Commercials From the 1980’s And 1990’s

Renault commercial from 1986 featuring Robert Palmer’s song from 1980 “Johnny And Mary” with a 1st generation Trafic (sold in the United States by the way of a CKD kit in chassis & cab form to build the Winnebago LeSharo/Renault Phasar on), a European-spec Jeep CJ-5 that was built by Renault at the Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio by the way of Renault’s ownership of AMC; a Renault 4 (produced from 1961-1992), Renault 9 (Renault’s C-segment competitor to the Golf and was manufactured by AMC and sold in the United States as the Renault Encore), Renault 11 (a saloon/sedan version of the 9, just like how the Jetta is a sedan/salon version of the Golf, competed directly with the Jetta; and was manufactured by AMC and sold in the United States as the Renault Alliance); and the Renault Espace minivan-which is just as ghastly as the American Chrysler minivan, American Chevrolet Venture/Uplander and their GM corporate siblings, Ford Windstar/Freestar, V40, V41, and V42 Nissan Quest/Mercury Villagers; LW Mazda MPV, XL10, XL20, and XL30 Toyota Siennas; KV-II, VQ, and YP Kia Carnival/Sedonas/Hyundai Entourage; and the RL1, RL3, RL4; and RL5 Honda Odysseys.

I personally like the Trafic just as much as I like the Volkswagen Transporter/Microbus/Vanagon/EuroVan, and the Mercedes-Benz Vito/Viano/V-Class/Metris.

Commercial for the Renault 5 for the Slovenian market, using a rendition of Robert Palmer’s song from 1980 “Johnny And Mary”. The Renault 5 was produced from 1972-1996.

Commercial for the Renault Clio, which had replaced the Renault 5 in 1990. This commercial also uses another rendition of Robert Palmer’s song from 1980 “Johnny And Mary”.
