yes, they droped the V6 MR clio... on my understanding, it was never supposed to be more then a 1-off.... but it turned production.

I am surprised that they think about it as the Clio V6 wasn't a success ( except in England where most of the sales were

). Maybe they want to celebrate their F1 title

i think they must have thought the clio v6 was a success... but were limited to how well a good engine could be used in that particular car...

i think thats why they have stopped the mid engine portion of future Clio's and are moving on to a somewhat larger, better platform in the Megane.

makes sense to me... but i definately prefer the Clio's styling...

oh, dani... my source also mentioned that a new Clio cup car is being made... but im sure you knew that

A good news is that it will certainly use the Nissan V6, I don't see them using the previous Renault-Peugeot V6 now that they have such a nice engine !!

you still have a reason to have a rusty spanish... you live in Michigan, Minnesota???? I don't have a clue of what state, even if the ones I mentioned exist

and I work for an american company based in chicago and I should be at a 90% of spoken and written english

That was the problem with the old generations, even after Porsche took a look at that V6 and improved it a bit.
Meanwhile Peugeot is still using the original 210hp V6 which is about 3 000 years old compared to nowadays' standards ^^ They just keep working on diesels while Renault build and sell sporty cars ... :roll:
