    Are there really 0 Renaults in the US? Or I guess maybe just a few imported ones, but like they aren’t officially sold there?

    Are any other French brands available? I know at least the Germans are.

    I guess French cars are too “sensible” for the US market?

      Renault used to have a 46% stake in AMC back in the '80s but sold it to Chrysler and hasn’t been back since.

      I don’t know if there are zero Renault in the US but Mozilla themselves say that Renault aren’t sold in the US:

      While Renault cars haven’t been sold in the US since 1992, their cars are big in Europe, South and Central America.

      So it is kind of strange to hold it against them. On the other hand that doesn’t seem to be too important because nobody cares about what they signed or not.
