the "new" clio = wtf :( ?

[chris79]

sorry, but the more I see the "new" clio.. the more it just reminds me of a shitty pug 206 with a renault badge on it...

long live the 172 cup (the best "clio" ever made imo!).. renault have cocked up on this occasion I think.

As usual for modern cars, they all look the same, they all weigh more, and the driving experience will be even more isolated than many of the cars of today.

The new one will have more power, and more efficient, but wont be any quicker in real terms and will feel more isolated.

Cherish your "old" cars.

 

[benhwolves]

yep exactly, dont care if it has more power, still prefer the 182!

Maybe it will grow on us in time?

 

[cornburn]

I'm sure it will. Williams/16v owners must have had the same reaction to the mk2 clio shape when it first came out? New cars always look crap until they grow on you (ones in my price range at least)

 

[blink172]

I think it going to grow on you. I bet the Mk2 had the same reaction 7 or so years ago.

 

[Tyson-182]

The initial shock will wear off, and i think many of us will start to like it. I really dont like the normal Clio's mk3's..but the RS3 looks the nuts!

I went to Renault Manchester and they say they're getting on in during April...i'll wait for the test drive!

How long has the new Clio been on sale? Reason I ask, is that I have yet to see even one on the roads.

[Aust1n]

Indeed.. stick with a 182 thanks..

 

[Nafoff]

the new clio has been out for a while......i have seen 2 of them....not nice really although i like the rs3

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Yeah too much like a pug 206 in shape , lots of car manufacturers make cars similar shapes , at least the mk2 clio looks like nothin' else out there , probably rattles like no other car out there , lmao

Still love it though

MrBillyUK !

 

[sh33n]

The shape is defo growing on me.

I might like the RS when it comes out, well at least when the Cup or Trophy version comes out.

 

[D"w!Z]

lol the car hasnt been out a year yet, u cant reali even compare because the rs version aint out yet. look simiar to a 206 but i prefer the sharper lines of the clio, makes it more masculine

 

[Serg]

i dont like the look of it but then when the mk2 first came out i hated it! thought it was one of the worst cars out but then i learned to love it and then along came the 172 etc, oh times are good lol

 

[Neil_Mk1]

I don't really like the new clio either, but one went past me today in black and I thought it looked quite good. I think they will grow on me.

 

[Chili Red]

I think the main problem with the new Clio will be the price! There'll be too many other cars in the same price range, and it won't be the most 'bang per buck' anymore.
