Alternative names considered for the Clio



  Renault 4GTL
I just wondered if anyone knows what the Clio might have been called. Relatively recently I came across either a magazine article or a website that mentioned in passing around five or six alternatives to Clio. Does anyone know where I might have seen it? Thanks.

In Japan it's called Lutecia because Honda own the copyright to the name Clio - I'm not 100% sure if the Honda thing is true but the Lutecia bit is.

In some other countries they're called a Thalia or Symbol - those names pop up quite often when searching for parts on ebay etc, could be where you've seen it

Thanks for your reply but my mistake, I'm actually after the pre-launch alternative names considered before Renault settled on Clio. I know what Clio means and who chose it, but there were several other suggestions put forward and rejected. Thanks.
