Autocar showing pictures of the new base model Clio - so the sporty one should be pretty close:

I am not liking that at all. Way too fussy. I rather liked the 197/200 shape which was quite restrained. I mean, WTF is that big gash down the side and if you're going to prostitute the Renault 4 heritage, at least make it boxy like a Panda/old Renault 4.

I can't see anyone buying that over a Fiesta which itself is probably due a revamp.

You really think the 200 is restrained looking?

For me, the last restrained looking Clios were the 172 and 182 models, which, if you didn't spec anthracite wheels or turinis, are almost the epitome of stealth - I like it that way.

Probably have a point on the 200. I'll stand by my guns on the 197 though.
