Renault is a good brand, but unfortunately for me and my fellows they're not in the US market. There was talk of them coming back into the market (or was it Peugeot, maybe both?) a few years back but apparently that fell through. I know both Renault and Peugeot have a presence in Mexico but (even before Trump's threatened tariffs go through) importing cars (especially new cars) from outside the US as anyone other than a licensed dealer can be really cost prohibitive.

Damn, I didn't know that Renault wasn't in the US market...

They were for a while in the 1970's through the 90's (I think), but it was in partnership with the American Motors Company. When AMC went bust, Chrysler bought them out and ended the contract.
