Auto express can suck my swingers

It is shocking but... I got 6 copies for £1 so not really complaining. I read it as if it's a comedy.

So did I. When I looked at my bank account, I saw that they had already set up a direct debit for the full amount for the next lot :shock: so I deleted that, and sent off a sharpish e-mail.

Auto express are the daily mail of car magazines, utter tripe.

P.S. RS Clio pictures here:

:lol: yep. Well... They don't blame everything for cancer and princess Diana's death but near enough daily mail levels! I just wanted the wax that came with

I don't like 5-door cars either.. except on models like the Seat Leon where the door handles have been hidden and it looks like a 3 doors.

Seems this is done the same way.

Auto express also reported the return of a clio williams with 240 horses...

 

[MovingShadow]

I like it.

 

[weebob]

I like it.

shhh don't say that too loud.... Someone will hear you and think your a complete loon

 

[Peter]

I don't like it. Looks like a Mazda 3.

 

[maggi200]

I like it.

He drives a wind. No opinion as far as I'm concerned

Didn't you voice an opinion that you quite like the wind the other day?

I'm not sure on it. There's bits I like, but all together I'm not sure it works. Will wait to see the official designs later in the year before making up my mind though.

 

[maggi200]

Haha I'm glad someone noticed

Yes I do

 

[Dubz]

It doesn't look too bad

 

[maggi200]

But no flared arches or properly bespoke body kit other than bumpers so it seems? I hope theyre winding us up!

 

[JamesGT]

Ill stick my neck out and say, apart from the 5 doors, i like it.

However....... and flame me if you will, i hope the roumered 1.6 turbo lump makes it in, as it can be tuned to provide some serious grunt to go with the expected sharp handling

 

[MovingShadow]

Most on Clio197 don't like it but I sometimes get more the feeling that people prefer the looks of their own car.. when a new model comes out, everyone breaks it down.

Same with the facelifted Twingo.

I don't own one but from a honest point of view, I have nothing against the facelift Twingo.

 

[DrDrew]

I agree with you JamesGT. I know there's a lot of hate for the proposed 1.6T as lots of people want the NA to stay, but with how everything else is going Renault have to compete, and the 1.6T can give them a lot of advantages.

 

[Twingojoe]

They can't be right as both pictures make it look FUGLY!

Saying that i remember seeing Renault make a good looking car turn very very ugly once can't remember which car though ;p

I think lots of people will be making these quicker than Meganes if they are turbo'd!
