It looks STUNNING! Prices to be around £10,000 and will offer a 1.2 120BHP engine, then may be followed by a 1.6 131 BHP renault sport ;D

Whats your views? :)

Looks wierd lol

[Paul]

Looks ok.

Wonder why they didn't uprate and fit the GT engine rather than the engine from the Dynamique - unless it wasn't possible, I suppose.

[Sammi]

no way, dont like that at all, was excited to see it thought it would look lush, dont like it :'(

[Ninja]

I really like it thing is it wont look like that when its made

[Sammi]

i hope they change the whole thing, the fronts like a clio and the back looks horrible!

[ASH_KL]

just looks like someone has crashed and rolled a clio, not really a fan of that. I think if ur gonna get a convertible it might as well be built for it in the first place.

i agree with you there ;D

[Ninja]

Yeah why not just go for the full whack!! :D :D

The current issue of the weekly French magazine Auto Plus has a two page spread on the CC, including a pic of the interior. It has the speedo behind the steering wheel for heavens sake...! ;)

I can't seem to get any news report from the site, but the link below allows you to see pages from the magazine online.

The article is on pages 6-7.

The pages on this link are only available until Monday 7th July, but I have a hard copy of the mag, and once I get home, I can scan in the article if anyone misses it.

[Ninja]

I wouldnt mind seeing that Paul if you dont mind scanning it ;D

[Paul]

No problem, mate.

It's going to be another 10 days or so until I get home and have access to a scanner...

Ok I'll just have to wait and be excited ;D

[prabmire]

Have to say, that from the pictures on the Auto Express site the only way it represents the Twingo is in its door handles. Just change them over (increase the dimensions, slightly, maybe) and it would look much more like a Clio CC. Maybe it should get a name of its own, like VW have done with the Golf convertible, calling the new model the EOS.

Are the pictures in Auto Plus similar to the Auto Express ones?

At the moment, yes, all the pictures that have been published are the same.

I dont think they should call it a Twingo CC as it doesnt look like a twingo plus it seems to have lost many of the classic twingo characteristics like the fact it doesnt have rear seats and the speedo is behind the steering wheel!!

As previously said, it looks far more like a clio.

By the way, who would by a heavy cc car with a teeny 1.2 engine?? Better off going with one of the competetors

[Emily]

Looks really odd to me don't like it personally

[southy]

It looks at lot like a clio and tbh i don't really like it personally. If they bring out a 1.6 sport version that wouldn't be inkeeping with the twingo's image, all IMHO ofcourse. ;)

[Twingo Geekeo]

NO SO SURE THINK ILL KEEP TO MY GT OR A SPORT TWINGO

[Chris]

But these pics are just an artist's impression, and they are not based upon our Twingos, they're based upon the Twingo Concept (shown in the pic at the top of each page on this forum).

[southy]

Fair comment, i'll wait and see. The jury's out though. ;)

[Paul]

No problem, mate.

Wait no more! Heres the scan of the article:
