FactSpain got a four-door saloon Renault 5 nobody else did, built at Valladolid and sold as the Siete.
The Renault Siete (from 1979: Renault 7) is a 4-door saloon version of the Renault 5 supermini, produced and sold in Spain by Renault's subsidiary FASA-Renault in Valladolid from 1974 to 1984. It was very similar to the Renault 5 hatchback, launched two years earlier, and identical mechanically but offered with a smaller range of engines. The Siete had four doors and a saloon-style boot in place of the original car's three (and later five) doors including hatchback, which involved extending the wheelbase by just under 6 cm while retaining the wheelbase difference between the left and right sides characteristic of several Renault models, resulting from the use of full-width torsion bars placed one behind the other, ahead of the rear wheels. The boot volume was 400 dm³ against the Renault 5's 270 dm³, and it used conventional chromed metal bumpers instead of off-body colour plastic ones. Initially powered by a 1037 cc engine (an enlarged version of the 956 cc Renault 5 engine) producing 50 PS, it was mostly sold in Spain; an engine upgrade to 1108 cc followed in 1980, with claimed maximum power dropping to 45 PS but torque rising from 73 N·m at 3000 rpm to 78 N·m at 2000 rpm.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
