True - But I can't help but think the XR4 wouldn't be an AS GOOD product as the XR5T. Like, the XR5T undercuts competitors price wise, yet does a much better job on the road performance wise. The XR4 might be cheaper then others.... but it would need to also perform really well to get anyone into them.
New Clio - From Reviews I have read, it is '
...more grown-up attitude than previous incarnations.' (Top Gear, 2006). It is heavier, and many aren't liking the steering. Apparently, and
'something has gone missing. At the end of a hard drive, you step out feeling full of admiration but curiously untouched by adrenalin. In the 182, you wouldn’t get out until the tank ran dry.' (Autocar, 2006)
C4 VTS - Helllllllllllll no. Been in one. Nothing too flash or interesting there.
