[Dan Page]

[tameracingdriver]

Ah well, meh! :rasp:

 

[interceptor]

Looks mean

I not seen them so thanks

 

[MRBILLYUK]

MrBillyUK!

 

[Stevie]

don't like it

 

[clio_rt_1.4]

Still not sure, need to see it in the flesh

 

[mattrt]

im srue thats not an actual picture, something about the headlight makes me think 3d stdio max, near as dammit tho.

 

[Guy]

weren't they the computer images of the concept and were out before they even made the concept?

 

[Williams025]

This I like very much! Its got the air of visual menace they injected into the Williams and 16v that, dare I say it, they never managed in the 172 / 182.

Bet it goes like stink too.

 

[john.med]

sweet as a fookin' nut!

 

[Giles]

No spoiler?

 

[Christopher]

still not convinced.

i think i'll wait until the Cup/Trophy/Track variants come out.

 

[Clio R]

looks s**t tbh ill stick with me mk2

 

[brian245]

looks fantastic

 

[klio]

Beautiful, but I wonder if they are going to have another Clio V6?

 

[Rocket Fish]

looks good, but it looks like it will be heavier than the mk1 &2's.............

 

[olihodgson]

stunning, if i were buying a new car, that would be it!

 

[Tyson-182]

Awesome! I would just like to know the technical stats for it!

Tyson.

 

[Maxx]

Looks ok apart from the headlights and missing spoiler. Headlights need to look a bit meaner like.. (que dodgy photosop)

 

[Slug172]

Needs a giant spoiler on roof, black to match those wheels!

 

[clio__chris]

please renault - realease a light weight version

no-one likes a fat ass!!

 

[RichMcc]

It looks too fiddled with... bigger than the mk2

Yuck!

 

[Ted_200]

brilliant! im puttin my name down 4 it!
it a 225 init?

 

[$torm Rider]

I want one! Anybody know when they're out and how much? I'm seriously considering getting rid of my Dynamique for one of these bad boys.

 

[lee_cup]

Looks ok, but to be honest, unless it hugely out performs the mk2 i wont be getting one.
And i think it looks way to similar to most new cars coming out (Peugeot 207)

So im not convinced yet......

 

[edde]

brilliant! im puttin my name down 4 it!
it a 225 init?

Nope 192 or 197hp. (probably the former in real life UK hp 197hp advertised)

 

[Norris_309]

Looks ok, but does anyone else see a pug 307 from some angles?? (or is it just me)

 

[brabbsy2o05]

Looks a bit bulky towards the Mk2 but is a nice looking car

 

[Leeshez]

Looks big to me

 

[Ally]

Its got the air of visual menace they injected into the Williams and 16v that, dare I say it, they never managed in the 172 / 182..

I disagree - I think this looks far softer than the 172/182. I've always thought the 172, especially the mk1, have a bit of an evil look about them from the front. Not as menacing as the Williams/16v granted.

The new model looks as soft as a wet fart IMO.

 

[Phill1978]

but is it a better car ?? looks arent everything are you saying a MKI or MKII clio look anywhere near sporty other than a few front bumper differences and a slight increase in arches (plus tiny spoiler and different wheels)
comparing to other hatches i.e 147GTA, ford focus RS, Leon-R or T (prefer the T myself) etc..

the new one doesnt look too bad imo a bit more adult and if it has more space inside a bit better driving posistion and a much improved interior over the MKII and MKI`s awful cheap plastics and rattly sharp edged fittings then it will be a cooler car for that and a better one for showing off in when you take girls out in them or your mates.
its safer too which is a boon. the MKII in my eyes is dominated by the boyracer scene now.
time to recieve the new model and at an increased price and hopefully grp 17 insurance keep it out of the wrong hands for a few years, its the only way the MKII sport ever looked different because there were so many standard models around and hardly any Rsport versions on the streets.

((still dont see many cups around my way))

 

[Lushman]

Not bad, but I'll stick with 172 cup until the new civic type R comes out or they do a massive discount on the megane trophy.

 

[phattboycoxy]

ye, not as angry as the valver or williams. massiv improvement on 172 and 182 though. no offence mk 2 and 3 owners (well mayb a little)

 

[Phill1978]

Not bad, but I'll stick with 172 cup until the new civic type R comes out or they do a massive discount on the megane trophy.

yea but as always.. the price. running costs i.e mpg will be better on new cliosport for deffo, insurance should be lower than a 230/240hp civic i.e grp 19 no doubt, road tax, servicing etc.. and the price of buying after six months out and off the internet will be usually 3k cheaper on a car thats cheaper to start with so 13k for a new 200hp clio with all the latest stuff and safety should make it a difficult desicion go for the lastest blingy mobile i.e a Focus ST, new type-r or new leon cupra etc.. or get almost exact pace or at least an exellent handling clio for a total inc 1 yrs of running costs around £5,000 cheaper

so the new clio is going to have to go through the whole compared to performance hatchback sector posts again with price on the clio`s side and ultimate performance on the heavier cars side

 

[Ally]

I'm not saying it's not going to be a good car - I was only voicing my opinion on the looks! It'll be on my list of potential next cars (along with the Focus ST and Megane Cup) when I eventually come to change, despite the looks...

I'll be sticking with my 172 for a couple more years anyway so there'll be plenty of reviews of it before I even consider changing cars
