Right then people!
I have a theory... There is legislation coming into place to enforce daytime running lights (DRL's) by the end of 2011/start of 2012 which have to be fitted to all new cars. The Megane has been redesigned to accomdate this new law. The 200 wasn't. Given that it is 12 months away and the 200 is essentially a facelift 197 I don't believe that Renault will be doing another facelift of the same car especially not so soon after the 200. Even if that was a new blade with lights embedded in it. This leads me to think that the new Clio will be coming in about 12 months.
So what do we want to see on it in terms of specification and performance!?
Personally I want a naturally aspirated engine with at least 210bhp as standard (and not the 'we say it has 197PS but it is actually a few less'), a bit more torque low down so that you can relax when you want.
I would like the Recaros to stay but probably in leather to avoid any wear problems.
It needs to have the aggressive styling that we all love, as long as it doesn't look chavvy it will be great!
Compulsory RS monitor with loads of options and toys (Nissan GTR style)
Xenons (for Woody )
Over to you!
