What is Renault 6?
[[File:Renault 6 front 20080918.jpg|thumb|256x256px|The Renault 6]] The '''Renault 6''' is a small family car produced by the French automaker [[Renault]] between 1968 and 1986. The Renault 6 (R6) was launched at the 1968 Paris Motor Show, and was intended to be an upmarket alternative to the [[Renault 4]]. It used a similar dashboard-mounted gear-lever and over-the-engine linkage to that used in the Renault 4 and the small [[Citroën|Citroëns]] with which it competed. The R6 used the R4 platform as well as its 845 cc (51.6 cu in) engine and was technically near-identical, but its hatchback body was larger and more modern. Visually it resembled the larger [[Renault 16]]. French R6 production commenced in October 1968 and lasted until 1980, but continued elsewhere until 1986.
