Not for me. Let the Williams clios die gracefully.

Again?

That must be about the fourth or fifth time Autocar or autoexpress have reported it is coming back, lol.

They had pictures of one and everything for the 240bhp N/A version (which even my gran could have told you wasnt happening with an F4R and it still be emissions legal!)

[Kyle 86]

Just like chip said how many times have autocar said that the williams is returning ill believe it when i see it although it would be great if it was to happen

Do these magazines just make random sh1t up and people buy it?

 

[Kyle 86]

I reckon so

Yup lol

 

[BeXE]

It's an Autocar image, and as such is most likely BS. That said, I would have loved to have seen a previous 200 Williams.

Thats what a lot of "journalism" is these days, make a load of rubbish up, attribute it to an un-named source and then you arent lieing yourself.

In this case they use the line:

Renault is yet to officially confirm that a new Clio Williams is under development, but well placed sources have told Autocar that..

Its how all the gutterpress newspapers work as well.

Certainly not the way any of us who work as journalists and have some integrity actually operate but obviously it gives us all a bad name as its most people's first thoughts about journalism in general.

Anyone remember "drop the dead donkey", that was so true its frightening I reckon considering the amount of power the press has these days. They can destroy lives very easily for a story.

 

[Chip-mk1]

So did anyone order one yet? LOL

This think looks terrible!! I hope it's not actually going to happen!

Auto Express are the worst for it! I don't recall any of their 'AE Exclusives' coming out looking like their 'artist pics' err, I mean photoshops.

It didnt, lol.

Agreed, If you banned them from using the terms "sources close to..." and here is an "artists impression" they wouldnt have anything to write, lol.

Wouldn't matter if it had a V8 in it, it still looks shite.

 

[Ex-User (72296)]

So now we're in 2014.. Is it happening?

 

[jamie crookston]

Even if they do. Still won't beat the original.

Renault will be launching a more 'hardcore' version of the 200 but..... It won't be coming to the UK! :-(
