The weight of expectation rests heavy on the broad shoulders of this, the new £16,500 Renaultsport Clio 197, replacement for the much-loved, supercar-humbling Clio 182, Cup and Trophy. The successor to the king of hot hatches goes on sale in June and is bigger and heavier than the car it replaces. Yet it boasts only a modest power increase, up from 180 to 194bhp (the '197' moniker refers to its power in PS), so does this mean that Renault has fumbled?

mmmmmmmmmmm. :cool:

It mings, looks like a retarded evil frog with its eyes as headlights and mouth for a grille!!

Can only see the hardcore paying full price for one though, how much will they actually sell for? not the RRP but actual sale price?

Tut tut im dissapointed in you.

But if I wanted a bigger car, I'd buy a CTR, which in the old bread van configuration, was the same price. Would you seriously chose a Renault over a Honda at the same money?

Yes but they wont sell for the rrp so its a pointless argument.

And the type r was
Honda
Civic Type-R (01 on)
2.0i VTEC 3d (AC)

List Price: £17,950
