I think it's a real shame it didn't look EXACTLY like the concept

It's lost the 'charm' of the original one too

Its a C2 with a few add ons.

That 1.2 seems a great little engine. Not been out that long, so interesting to see how people go with tuning this.

Would make a much better drive than a 1.2 16v corsa, if i was 18, i'd deffo be interested in it.

Completely different insurance group surely?

That is like saying a Mazda RX-8 would be better to drive than a 1.3 CDTi Corsa.

These 1.2GT's are just shy of £10k brand new OTR, my feeling is you wont get that age and performance for anywhere near that price from anywhere else will you???

Concept looks nice, imagine if you could squeeze the Megane 225 engine in it

I think you mean weight =

Just shy of a tonne is quite a lot for a super-mini where you'd probably struggle to get 4 people in comfortably, and have space for a fag box in the boot
