if there is a country where Italians are despised: France is it...

I have a colleague in France, he says that the French say about Italians: "They are North Africans that can swim..."

So if a French newspaper says that the Italian GPunto is better than French ClioIII... You must believe it....

This car is great!

You should read our newspaper "the sun" - if you thought it spoke for our country sometimes you would think we were right weirdos.

Also if you read the French it states "serious rival"

NB: I haven't had experience with either of the cars and am just making use of the document provided.

 

[Steven]

Well I'd believe it anyway.

 

[Helz]

That's like trying to compare Top Gear Mag to the Sun Paul. That mag doesn't look like a french Max Power to me

 

[The Negotiator]

I am saying that a magazine none of us have any experience of doesn't speak for the country.

And somebody please read at least the conclusion!

"It's a serious rival"!

YAY fiats are better!! :woot: and to the french- :nerner:

i sense a machivellian plot......the clio has been highly rated for years as a track and road by many magazines in this country, from williams 1/2/3, 182, 182 cup, trophy, 172, v6 and v6 255 forms, and for renault to suddenly throw the towel in before they have released their next gen car doesn't sit well........

 

[custard]

renault and fiat seem to have made a critical and basic design flaw.

















the steering wheels on the wrong side!

nope they ARE on the right side

 

[The Trooper]

Nothing amazing here. The MkII Punto is better than the current Clio. oo, come think about it, the MkI Punto was better than the old Clio too. And so was the Uno!

 

[The Trooper]

(in my humble opinion anyway )

 

[wolfracepunto]

The new clio doesnt look half as good as the Punto

 

[The Negotiator]

In that picture the punto headlights look horrible.

no they dont, look great

 

[Bob in disguise]

I think the punto looks as stunning as ever in that picture and the interior shots the punto wins hands down. Also look at the clios wing mirrors :yuck: the puntos actually look good for once

I prefer the current clio to that thing theyve created to replace it and thats saying summit cause im not a fan of french cars

 

[The Negotiator]

They are keeping the current clio for about 2 yars until the new Twingo comes.

I thought the Modus was the second phase of the Twingo...at least thats what the info I could lig implied .

Thank god if it isn't - as I cant bear the Modus, but really like the Twingo

 

[The Negotiator]

No, the twingo is sei sized

It will be based on the clio II platform. 2007 may also see the return of a Renault Alpine.

Paul, I'm sure you know this already, but 'The Sun' IS NOT A NEWSPAPER! It's a kiddie comic written for Chavs and those that think the goings on with Posh & Becks are of more importance than World Peace

 

[The Negotiator]

Very very true I should have written 'newspaper'
