i reckon the front ends ok, but the back is just a baby meg!

Ok I had to sign up to comment on this.
Until recently I had a citroen C2 GT and I just couldnt live with the squashed upright styling that seems to be sweeping accross the new small hatches.
I changed to a 172 for the power and the looks, and as much as people say it takes time to get used to new designs of cars etc, the new clio is a poor show. I still cant stand the looks of the new megan and although it is different and in essence quite stylish, it just looks wrong.
The clio, kind of looses the sleekness that makes a hot hatch what should be. If you take the quality supercars and fast coupes like porsche, ferrari, nissan 350, tvr, RX8, etc none of them have felt the need to go high rise.
Its just wrong.
Still its going to be a cracking car,even if it has the rear of a baboon
i like the new one in the actual photos. its no suprise really that the new clio will inherit the styling of the new megane and the vel satis. its all about brand identity! i have to say i hated the new megane when it came out but it has grown on me, esp the 225 with the shaped twin exhausts. i think they look really good for a standard car. hopefully the RS version will continue witht eh twin, shaped exhausts.
the artist impresison further up the thread looked w**k, but then those sketches rarely look like the finished product.
i hope it sells well, and devalues 182s cos by then i might just be able to afford to buy one
Octavia VRS
I actually dont mind the new clio. It could have been a lot worse I reckon.
Lets be honest, the platform is the same as the new Micra, as Renault bought Nissan recently. The Micra is quite tall and looks crap! My mum likes it, enough said! Just hope the Clio isnt that tall when its out in the flesh.
Yes its arse looks like a small Megane but thats the way Renaults stylists are going just now. The five door looks worse than the three door mind. The silver clio above was in autocar a few months back, i tried to look for the photo to scan it on here but must have chucked the mag.
I would still be interested in buying it whenever these uni debts are paid and someone actually gives me a full time job!!
Just shows the fool at Renault Livingston that there is a new Clio coming out like my dad told him. The salesman said that was news to him, maybe these people should actually know about the cars they are selling!!
fine with me
