:agree:

Interesting rumor, especially if they would use tce engine from megane which was 1.4l if I remember correctly

Oh god, reading that I'd prepaid for renault to turn it into an Eco hippie city car :(

My guess they'd use the same floor plan as the twingo which is the mk2 Clio floor plan. By the sounds of that it won't be a retro look like fiat did with the 500 but a whole new body shape which could turn out horrible :(

I think the only way this would be any good is if they do an RS version, a cheeky little 1.4 16v turbo engine would be nice, especially if it's small enough for it to drop into an mk2 R5 shell.

I was in Renault yesterday I heard this also I had a tce turbo Clio 1.2 ,they have just release the new twingo it's awful ,but I would imagine they would use that as a base
