New RS Clio aimed at the UK

[sh33n]

Ive seen some people mention that the new RS Clio (which weve all seen pictures of by now) is aimed and designed for the UK market?

Exactly how has it been designed for the UK then? Who did they ask when finding out exactly what us RS Clio and potential RS Clio owners would want?

Renault have been watching this club, its all Loonys fault, ever since he said he liked big bottoms

the UK has the most RS clios in the world

Ahh so we can blame him for that rear end!!

Will they be going along the Cup Pack, Cup Version and Trophy versions with the new one like the current Clio and Megane?

Who knows mate, the french didnt even get a sniff of the trophy. Just the Brits and the Swiss. The French and spanish all buy diesels and crash into each other

If Renault were watching this club theyd all have cheaply sprayed black wheels.

its because were probably the biggest customers for the ReSp brand, pointless designing a car for a country that hardly buys any of the model

OI

if theyd been watching this forum it would have a velcro bootmat for securing animals!

 

[badinvincible]

Isnt the UK the biggest market for hothatches and convertibles in Europe? Strange considering the roads here are like gravel stages in Greece and it rains a lot.

And someone sat in the back seat telling you a trophy/williams is quicker, you should have bought japenese and itll have more rattles than an early learning centre

dont be silly, more full fat owners have dirty cars than cup and trophy owners

I predict, using my graph of RS models vs time (which is based upon previous RS history) that there will be approximately 24 incarnations of the next gen of RS model.

Each will be replaced by the next once theyve sold 1000.

3 of the 24 incarnations will be delivered with hastily hammered out bits of coke cans denoting some sort of limited run.

Incarnations 1 and 24 will be the best ones to buy.

Incarnations 1-3 will be the best looking before the model is hastily redesigned to look even cheaper at the front end than before.

the uk takes half the worlds supply iof RS products so it should be designed with the UK in mind. All the colonies will have to mnake do with our suspesion setups etc

 

[mitch_]

Itd better be a good. Im going to make my other half buy one so she can do Renault track days with me without hammering my Vee.

Its only a concept...so they wont put things like that on to spoil the looks. A lot of things will go on the final version. Jeremy has already said on the Renaultsport forum that the separate rear seats will go.

 

[D"w!Z]

all those seats will go!

 

[James Bushell]

Will be good to see how the Cup looks..
