Clio 182 CUP!

Have any of you seen it?! ITS DISGUSTING! OMGGGGG... ok, the dash wasnt too bad, but very busy and less classy IMO. The speedo stops at 210 as well.... (yea, i know our car doesnt do either speed!). Um, the interior in the LX is so girly it is laughable! Swirls all over the interior... very odd! In the time i was there, i heard two people asking about the current shape and how long they still had to get one new! hahahahhaha
Also, oddly, there was no Zetec on the stand, and no-one had any idea about it. Do you think we might be getting a ZetecS?! Another thing, the bug eyes at the front look UGLY looking from where the front door is. They poke out so much. A nice feature on the Ghia was a silver highlight on the steering wheel. Also, the exterior moulds on the LX where in light grey, not black. Stood out more... OH, and the rear light cluster, doesnt look too bad, but the round reflectors at the bottom just look odd on a squarish car. Very odd..... BUTTTTTTTT, i must admit i love the front bumper/fog lights.... and i opened the bonnet and all the headlight screws and where the grill attaches to the car are the same.... so im pretty sure its just a straight change. OHHHHHHHHH, and aquarius is no more! Jeans blue and some other colours are here to replace it.... and also, it seems that the Flare colour is back.... i could have been wrong, but i know the Aquarius is GONE. Straight, seems to be a popular colour (sorry i didnt get pics... left the digi at home, and it was too late to head back home!)

I have a spec sheet of the UK facelift and it doesn't list aquarius or flare. Not really a fan of the facelift the headlights are way to big they should of made them similar to the rallyeconcept. Not really a fan of the interior either but some of the new gagets sound interesting like the automatic climate control and rain sensitive wipers.

Dont think either car at the motor show had the Climate Control..... apparently the aussie version is different headlights, bumpers and dash. That is IT. And different colours and seat designs.
I hate the headlights... they poke out like bug eyes.... very honda Jazz like.... but worse!

Also it does not look Korean. I dont know where the hell you're pulling that from.
Black bezelled Bug eye headlights set back in a modern clear lense. Tell me other cars that share the same design cue hmmm, BMW e35 5 series and the new ones, BA/BF XR's, Focus Mk2. I reckon stop being so critical of the design mate, its a good evolution of the Fiesta into something that looks more like a baby focus (The Mk2), those heddies look mean and loads more modern. The interior is a welcome change from hard plastic tupperware box too. |

Um, what black bezelled? Also.... it is bug eyed. Look at it from the side and close to the car... it shows how much it protrudes from the car. Im just saying that i think its getting rid of its clean lines.
UM, i just meant korean refering to the Festiva days.....

Ok, So Teki you have seen the Aussie spec model. This is the ONLY pic ive seen of the new fez so far before you wer so kind as to post your pic from the motorshow.
 Having looked at the pic, Now can you see why I would think that the healdights are tinted black with the circular bezel (bezel meaning the scolloped bit surrounding the main driving light...)? I'm not gonna argue with ya mate, I got better things to do, but that was the impression I got from this photo. The aus spec one comes (obviously from your pic) with clear lights only until ST arrives. |

well, the new car definately has a nicer front bar
i spose the only other thing i liked from it is the analogue fuel gauge the trim looked a bit off, the headlights were terrible, and the tailights were worse. i did like the lil shiny bit on the steering wheel of the ghia tho |

Must admit I hate the taillights and the round reflectors on the rear bumper.
I do like the one piece bumper/grill set up and the tinted headlights (On the pic posted above)... |
