That was exactly the reason.
I received two emails, the first email told me a post had been deleted as it quoted a remark from an offensive poster (you) and had to be removed. The second email advised the above and I could no longer post.
Not quite sure why Alpine fans feel the need to get any alternative or negative opinions censored though, so much for open debate. I'll applaud with jazz hands from afar in my safe space in future so as not to offend any Alpine millennials.

Timo we know you and Simon amg don’t like the Alpine. Nobody actually cares. People just get fed up of your ill informed posts and call you out for being a troll.

From the Renault stable, I reckon this superb lightweight Alpine S makes the lower specification non-record holding Mégane 300 Trophy R look pretty redundant.
Not sure why. The basic R has 99% of the useful bits (higher camber kinematics, lightweight, adjustable Ohlins, plenty of braking endurance etc etc). The top spec one (literally one) is very far into law of diminishing returns territory, particularly when you put cheapo lightweight 18' alloys on the "base" car. It's also £21k cheaper.

They are two completely different cars - the Trophy R is still a track special whereas the 110s is still more road-oriented. I’m sure the stock Trophy R is quicker around the green hell if that is what people are interested in.200 kg lighter, mid engined, looks great and probably goes around the Ring at a similar pace to the budget Trophy R. OK the silhouettes are very different but it you fancied dropping 50k on a Renault 2 seater for some odd track action - Alpine S all day long.

Man pokes hornets nest. Man gets upset when hornets stings him and seeks moral high ground. Go figure.

In before somebody suggests an LS swap. 
Lovely photography.
I like the A110 a lot. At the same time, I do share the interest of some others here for a colour palette that might expand to include a couple of more adventurous and/or retro-inspired choices.
I've put an LS3 in an Alpine - just not a A110 Lovely photography.

Me too, but there are hot hatch people, and I don't think they'd be wrong to go for the Trophy R. It's not something I'd go for, but that doesn't make it a bad choice. The reviews have been pretty impressive. 200 kg lighter, mid engined, looks great and probably goes around the Ring at a similar pace to the budget Trophy R.

If your going to do it... do it proper!!!

What a shame they don't offer a manual. It seems silly to try to make a focused, lightweight car for driving enjoyment and not offer a manual shifter. Automatics are great for cack-handers who have no technique, though.
What a shame that there are still those who categorise those who are happy with dual clutch automatics as cack handers. I've been heel and toeing for 30 years - how good is your double declutching?TimoMak said:

Yes marvellous. Just don’t mention any negative points, question any aspect about the car or express a different opinion other than the usual fawning nonsense, because if you do they’ll ban you from the thread.

I think they are ugly. 4C looks so much better & is lighter/faster. Interior isn't as good though.
4c is a good looking car with the 4c spider headlights on it if the paint hasn’t flaked off4c is not much lighter
4c is not quicker
The 4C including sport pack and aircon weighs 1.015kg (excl. cf. roof), the Alpine A110 S weighs 1.114kg
That's 99kg, or almost 10%, 99kg is a lot in this segment.
