Two new cars to the city car market, Peugeot will have Citroen and Toyota twins again.

 

Renault have managed to make the Twingo rear wheel drive and rear engined where VAG failed.

Cute looking design. But how do you open those rear doors?!

That has the potential to be fantastic. Interesting to see that they want to release a hot version ASAP as well. How long have VW been faffing about an Up! GT...?!

ETA referring to the Twingo...

You've not seen the current Honda Civic then?

 

The handle is a tad higher than you might otherwise expect......combined with the moulding to the rear of the window.

I like the look of the twingo, interesting design, and the hot version sounds like a promising cheap junior hot hatch!

Just remember it's a Renault. Talk to anyone who has had a Megane or a Scenic. The French should not be allowed to use electricity...

Ah - clever design feature. Thanks.

The Renault looks like a Fiat 500 !

There's elements of that in there, yep. They both look very nice cars IMO.

Too gimmicky for me.

I've had 2 or 3 Renaults, never had an electrical fault with any of them, nor had any trim fall off etc. Must be blessed.
