There has been repeated debates about whether or not a new clio is being released soon ......many of the opinion that there isnt one due till 2005 (erm...what a laugh....Renault musnt want to keep ahead of the market or make any more money in this market sector then, coz if they keep this shape for another 2 years I for one will be very sick of the sight of it when other car companies will have been through another 2 facelifts in the same time) Well they might want to read the awards special issue of Auto Express. Got it today and there happens to be a very interesting little article on the front page about the new clio due for launch in January next year! And like Ive said before it shares the micra platform! So to sum up there is a new clio at the end of this year and yes it does share the micra platform and yes the 172 cup is the last Renault sport clio until the new 2 lite turbo with 200 odd brake is released at the end of 2004! Maybe now you will believe. (Wheres Jeremy?) Proof yet again that Renault dont even know when their own car models are being replaced, dont know sod all about them, and dont even want to sell them to potentisal customers ringing up for information! The launch is set for early 2004 and the final model will be a convertible clio to rival the 206CC which will be released in 2005. THE END. Did anyone honestly think this shape would last another 2 years or so? hmmmm.............scary thought?

It looks pants anyway - but as always the initial reactions on this forum will be "I dont like it" etc btu when it comes out and people start buying it it will grow just like when the Mk2 172 came out and everyone with a Mk1 sl*gged it then changed a few months later and praised it as being superior to the Mk1 - funny old world eh!
Get off your high horse.Expected as much! Typical immature pointless additions to a perfectly informative thread........sorry Gaz, some people dont develop communicatory skills until later in life! Anyway, they say there not gonna continue the V6 in the new generation, but that s what they said about the V6 when the Mk2 clio was launched, it was apparently meant to continue in MK1 guise, obviuosly wasnt economical to make two sets of everything I guess?

im sorry but that wasnt a "perfectly informative thread" you posted. It was more like look at me im soooo right, and youre like soooooo wrong, getting a little tired of it now. no-ones saying you cant post opinions why u got to slate people like Jeremy though? Surely its a good thing he comes on here? And I wouldnt believe everything you read in the press....
Paddy, I was just trying to shed a little light on the subject - better to have conclusive proof from the press. I remeber when they showed the spy shots in identical fashion to this of the Mk2 clio - they were pretty accurate in their predictions all the same! And rearding Jeremy - hes convinced it isnt due till 2005, and that in my opinion aint true, and this article kinda concurs ! I aplogise too then like a man.............
