At first I posted this to net.auto nj distribution only, but on second
thought I think it might be of interest to the net. I heard that thought I
AMC and Renault are splitting and this will be the last year that AMC will
sell/make Renaults. What are the implications here, pro and con? I can 
think of several: Orphan car, hard/impossible to get out of warranty 
service, poor to no resale value. On the other hand: if Renault is right
and they continue to successfully sell in  the U.S. market this could 
be a desireable automobile, the last year they assembled them here, etc. 
However this is all speculation. Anypone else heard about the split? I think
this is a juicy issue to hash out on the net. What's your opinion?
