New Clio Name



  Clio v6


Does anyone think the Clio name will be dropped?

What would you like to call it? Other than a Clio.
 
  Nissan Jewk


cant see it being dropped in the forseeable future, but then im short-sighted lol
 
  300bhp MR2 Turbo


I think the name Clio has become to bankable for Renault to drop it.

I know its prob the oldest name on their books at the moment but fact is, its the car that accounts for the majority of their sales. To change the name could cost them in the short term.

I remember when Ford changed the Escort to Focus at first no one liked the idea. Luckily for Ford the Focus was such a good car that eventually people started buying them.
 
  Turbo'd MX-5 MK4


le clio big brother evil (knowing the bloody french, they always call their models after things they consider cool or popular)

What about the Fiesta - thats always been Fiesta?

Same situation as the Clio really - why change it when it works.
