When is the clio due to changed..

[Dyewitness]

as subject asks when is the clio due to be redesigned or killed off?

 

[billabong]

It is due to come out end of this year/beginning of next, and it is based on the same platform as the new Micra (YUK!!) so will probably look quite like it unfortunately, apparently its the first collaboration between Renault and Nissan, although Ive been told that Renault own Nissan. Does ne1 know if this is true?

The micra platform is to form the basis for a new renault city car alonside the current clio. The new clio is due to be released early 2005 with it being shown late 2004.

Do you have any more information you can let us know? Im about to buy a Clio fairly soon and would prefer to wait to see the new model first

If no to the above, when is the first available opportunity to see the new Clio ?

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Not until September 2005 sadly
