I got called by Ford today about the letter I sent and basically the guy (Customer service rep) wouldn't give me any info about fords intentions with the car but thanked me for the input and said he would pass it onto marketing.
Yep - what do you think I am... an idiot? I did my research before getting the Clio! The new RSC 197 also has a much nicer interior and seat design. The rear looks hot, but the front is a slight let down. Not only that, but standard features are also down... with most becoming options now. Oh, and the price is obviously higher!

Good to hear! What was the persons name that called you?
