Renault Clio Mercosur – Clio IV nose on a Clio II

Renault Clio Mercosur – Clio IV nose on a Clio II

Renault has wasted no time in pushing its new face onto older models. In this case, it’s the face of the just launched Clio IV grafted on its grandfather, the Clio II. It’s called the 2013 Clio Mercosur and it will debut at the 27th Sao Paulo International Motor Show in Brazil for the South American market.

By the way, Mercosur is the name of an economic and political agreement among Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Founded in 1991, it is now a full customs union. How about a Toyota Vios Asean?

Besides the new face, we can see new tail lamp designs and go faster body stripes, with matching white on the wing mirrors and rubbing strips.

        Prius C is an entirely different beast. It is actually a modern and safe car! From Toyota. And surprisingly it is being sold in Malaysia.

    Can’t they let the Clio II die? I mean it was an important model, and acceptable for its time… but it’s time to move on.

    Also the design just doesn’t work. The Clio IV is a great looking thing, but here it doesn’t work since the rest of the car doesn’t fit.

    Though the 207 sold here is also a 206 with a new face. The 206 was prettier.
