New RS Clio Release Date

[The Hoff]

Lo folks,

Just reading my Renault e-letter, and it states the new RS is being released in May 2006? Just wondered, as i thought the release was June/July.

[FONT=verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Another chapter in Renault’s long history of producing exhilarating road cars is about to open with then unveiling of New Clio Renaultsport in May. It will be the third phase of the leading hot hatch’s development, since Clio Williams Mark I in 1993. The car has evolved through Clio Renaultsport 172 in 2000 to Clio Renaultsport 182 in 2004. Cup and Trophy versions offered the public a full range of driving experiences, delivering outstanding performance and value for money. [/FONT]

hmm i thought it was june sort of time too! o well the sooner the better i supose!

 

[Cupster]

Is anyone actually going to buy it, I mean sell their 172/182 for one when it does come out? I ain't.

 

[The Hoff]

Im thinking of selling my 172 before its released to try and avoid the inevitable immediate depreciation.

 

[Tom_E]

dont think ill get it, iam well happy with my 182 (so far so good) maybe in a few years when there will better known for any french problems they might have!!

 

[Rich]

Earlier than I thought, I will be driving one for sure, as for buying, it would have to be bloody good!

 

[Macca172]

I think I'd rather pick up a second hand Vee for about the same price!

 

[Thomss]

I'll test drive one, but only had my 182 5 months or so. So deff not selling it yet.

 

[blink172]

Im going to. Prices are out on the 1st march and i'd imagine with the usual 6-8 week delivery, you'll start seeing them around the middle of April or start of May.

See the thread in Media and Pics.
