I do not remember a discussion about the R18, I do not remember/know who has set these codes, I am not sure I did that myself (I did it for the recent ones when I found that list of codes).

I was wondering how a car unveiled in 1978 (the Renault 18) could have a post-1979 project code (X34) in the IMCDb? Shouldn't this car have a R134 code for the sedan, R135 for the Break/SW/Estate? With a fourth digit or letter if the exact model is known, of course.

Even the planeterenault.com list gives these 2 codes, and its "new system" X34 mention is just the X one (="accepted project, soon to be manufactured") without any L (sedan) nor K (Break/SW/Estate) complement.

Was it a discussed choice of the admin team, or could it just be an early error while reading the technical data of the car (errare imcdbum est :ddr555:

)?

By the way, it seems that no Renault Fuego has a code (but I didn't check all the pages). According to the preceding 2 sites, it was R136.
