Are you thinking of the mid engined V6 Clio ?
A totally different beast and not ever likely to return (sadly)

The grill makes the car look Renault.
"Renault" being used as an adjective.

The ads were made to justify the look which appearently has no reason and looks ugly

Whereas the V6 looks so much more aggressive and pointy this one looks like my grandmother's car. You'd buy it for style, not speed.

"promote" not "justify".
THe "ass-end" look was first developed on the Avantime.
I'm one who LIKES it in real life. ( But it fails when applied to the Espace !! )
HAve you seen one or just pics ??

eh ? The Clio RS is going to see many a "sports car" off around the tracks
The styling is VERY European modern and similarities with new Pugs and Seats isn't lost on most of us. Even the new Civic is taking design clues from France !! ( 'cept seemignly the Brits were involved in the new Clio )

sorry but I don't think one is in order for anything

what is apparent to me might not be to you

notice I never actually said anything on the performance
I said the key factor you'd buy it for is styling because it looks '(insert words like chic, in, etc here)', the speed bit doesn't blend in much considering that.

Wow, you're good enough to join rr.com !!!

You did NOT SAY "KEY FACTOR" you made that up.
You may have WANTED to type that but you didn't.

you DID say you woudl NOT pick the car for speed.
Again somethign you're trygin to wriggel out of.

you either typed sh!te that you didnt' mean or you're lying your ass off to avoid being too embarrassed.

Learn a lesson -- it's easier to put ones hand up and say "that's not what I meant" than it is to try to make out you said somethign else. The latter works in the playground coz most folsk won't remember the earlier conversation> It's a STUPID defence on the 'net coz everyone can go back and see what was ACTUALY TYPED

Yes I did not type key factor EXACTLY. "I said the key factor you'd buy it for is styling because it looks '(insert words like chic, in, etc here)', the speed bit doesn't blend in much considering that." was written to EXPLAIN to you something that appearently you can't understand.

"You'd buy it for style, not speed"

Pretty obvious what key factor is I think

Quote:

not at all

quote: "You'd buy it for style, not speed"
I did not comment on the actual aspect of performance
whether it has speed or not is irrelevant as I'm commenting on the style

in other words

I would OVERLOOK / not bother with performance (for the style)

Quote:

very convenient way of opening the "choice porthole" for me

I will settle my own things thank you
