looks promising after reading some of the spec and the fact most of it has been made and designed by Nissan people... should hopefully give it some Jap reliability... still think it looks gash, it may grow on me however...

what are everyone else's thoughs?

the 40kg's downforce thing at the back made me laugh though, what the **** use would that me on a friggin clio, it cant even do 140mph lol

Just in case anyone didn't already know, I'd consider one in white.

However, I'd be very wary about buying a new Renault. Colleague is ditching his 3yr old Laguna as it's an unreliable heap of turd.

EU safety regs mate. TBH most manufacturers are really heavily bound by the regs these days. There's all sorts, detailing such shite as rake of windscreen etc, etc.

yeah but is it seriously regs that says all new small hatchbacks have to be taller than the original renault espace?!surely not!

its my pet hate with modern cars, thay all look the same, tall n gangly! like they will tip over everytime u go round a corner! :shock:

Yep. There's a hyoooooooooooge amount of regs that virtually dictates the design of the car.

Not that keen on it, looks even more like a standard Mk3 than the MK2 RS did!! Looks like a new shape CTR or Focus ST when I swap in a few years!!

something that puzzles me, is at what speed it achieves 40kg's of downforce.......

I quite like it in white.

Other new cars i think i'd consider before that though.

Love it 8)

But then, there are very few performance cars I don't like :oops:

it will have 312mm front brakes with brembo 4pots as std, 300mm rear brakes, 48mm wider front track and 50mm wider rear track, sounds like it runs partly the meg 225 set up, which with the slightly smaller wheels and smaller car should make it fun, i defiantly like the look of them, cant wait till we get some in at work :D
