*NEW CLIO* Crash on M6

[Has]

Coming bak on the M6 from work today about 1 or 2 miles before Corley services (southbound) at 5pm.

3 car shunt blocking 2 lanes of motorway.

They managed to clear it onot hard shoulder by the time i got there (stopped motorway)

brand spanking new clio....... who seemed to have the worst damage!!

Rear end damage (quite heavy) bringing rar of car to be crumpled badly.
Front of car looked slightly lighter but again lots of twisting and it really looked a mess.

4 cars involved i think (from quick count)
The Clio being the most destroyed !!!

It didnt look like it had held up as well as the old one.... but i dont know the exact reason for crash. Also no close inspection of inside the car.


First BIG crash of the new clio? (im sure there have probably been more)

But thats one to go in the bin me thinks!

i think the new shape stinks i tried to like it and i kind of like the sport but lined up next to a mk2 ph2 the new shape looks:butt:ugly

The body crumples more on the new one in the right places so that the occupants survive.

 

[Da]

I posted one up a few months back in Spotted, it was on M62 and looked a heavy central res impact. Clio was on H/Shoulder also by time I got there. I'll see if I can find the post...

It's a 5 star ncap car over the old one that was 4 star.

Would expect the car to look a mess due to the crumple zones.

I bet the cabin area was intact.

23? Loads of the damn things around here, I always get looks from them.

 

[jamesy]

the base model of the new shape seems to be common as muck at the moment:S

The new Clio is a 207!

^ all the new cars will look the same. because in car design safety has taken over any chance of good looking cars

ahh found the thread JLO did on the new motors - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=109937

I hope you are joking? Safety has nothing to do with the cool wall.

I saw a hott chick pulling out from one of the White Rose car parks today in a silver one. Looks liek that theory about only hott chicks drive clios applies to Mk3 as well (except the old fat b**ch I saw last night in a Mk2).
