Yep, it just looks wrong. All Renaults do at the moment.

Not liking that, the main things is the massive front badge and the stupid curve between the arches at the bottom of the doors, just to much not to like which is a shame as I like past Renault hot hatches

Bet it will go well, not something you want to be seen in though.

..........x2 but i do like the way they make the 5 door look like a 3dr bit like Seat  & Honda do with the civic. I think VW should do this on the 5 dr golf.

It reminds me of the car Homer Simpson designed for his brother Herbs car company.

It's so fugly. Saw the newspress article from Paris a few days ago.

Renault fail. Knew it would be horrendous when Renault announced they would drop 3dr Clios.

The only spec that I can see that is of interest is that it's got a turbocharged engine. Even the fact it's "DSG" will put a lot of people off.
Title: Re: New Clio4 RS200
Post by: Deako on September 30, 2012, 10:01:30 am
The funny thing is Renault thinking that in race mode, 150millisecond gear changes are fast!! VWs DSG changes much quicker iirc.
Title: Re: New Clio4 RS200
Post by: Poverty on September 30, 2012, 10:06:33 am
There's guys on the 6speed forum that say they can change gear in around that time so I'd have to agree lol.

150ms is an eternity. :-)

I love French tat, but Jeeezus!!!

I don't doubt it'll drive great, and tune well too, can't say I'd like one though. The Megane in its 2 most recent formats has been a bit quirky, but they've grown on me - this?? Nah.

Are Peugeot going to claim back the bonkers Clutter crown with the new 208???

Hopefully, 208 GTI with 220-250hp would be mega. But peugeot have always been soft in my driving lifetime. Would be good to see them retake the crown

Damn... that 208 looks awesome!  :love:

Looks like a Leon from the back (ish). Front is shocking....
Title: Re: New Clio4 RS200
Post by: Poverty on September 30, 2012, 11:21:11 am
I think the front is nice. The front lower bumper has some audi TTS styling cues in it though

Post by: heavyd on September 30, 2012, 11:36:57 am
I think the clio shares the same 1.6turbo thats in the nissan juke? Think the new nismo juke thats coming out is  about 210bhp as standard

Post by: andrewparker on September 30, 2012, 11:40:20 am
They've given the Renaultsport Twingo a similarly distasterous front end. Always liked that car.
Title: Re: New Clio4 RS200
Post by: Gladiator on September 30, 2012, 09:58:50 pm
Er...............I quite like it :ashamed:

+1

Will have to wait to see how it looks in the flesh but the turbo'd engine, 5 doors and the DSG equivalent gearbox is appealing  :smiley:

I love my small hot hatches and the ED30 has always fitted the bill but looking to change next year and the ED35 prices will still be far too high I reckon and I just don't know what else I would change her for currently, this could be an option although has a lot to live up to with 2 years extremely happy ownership with the Golf  :happy2:
