They even did a SWB 2 door version, a bit like those weird American coupes from the 80s

Hmmm ... so they went 262C for their Volvo pastiche on this one!

Uganda's answer to Alfa Romeo?

[wildcat45]

Are these African cars based on anything we'd recognise or are they completely home grown?

Companies such as Kantanka (Ghana), Kiira Motors (Uganda), Innoson (Nigeria) and Mobius Motors (Kenya) produce vehicles with a high percentage of local content. However they are generally inefficient and slow to build. So as demand grows, they are starting to integrate components sourced from China.

What could go wrong there?

Cheers for the info. I'm off to google those car companies.

No, we don't get the Clio Sports Tourer over here - probably because the Captur sells in such large volumes. UK buyers are choosing SUV styles over the traditional estate.

Renault decided not to bring the new Clio estate over as the old one didn't sell very well. The old one looked horrible mind you, and the new one looks pretty smart so I think it would've sold a lot better

As a rough guide, during its comparative time on sale there are 116 on Atrder ,compared to 2113 hatches -or 5.49%
