Geneva will be another stickers, leather & bullshit special, if anything.
I went to the Geneva show in 2010 and saw the Clio 200 Gordini launch (press day). I've never before felt so let down by a brand, only to be let down further by the 200T.
I have yet to see a 200T on the road and they've...
Thread title immediately made me remember something.
Loudest exhast I've heard?
I used to work at a motorcycle workshop in Ellesmere Port. They once had a Yamaha XJ1300 (retro looking motorbike) with a straight-through system, to be set up on the dyno. No silencing at all. THAT was bloody...
Hate to be devils advocate, but why not use a 197/200 engine bolted to a 172/182 gearbox?

If you are seriously considering a 200, bargain hard with the dealer (assuming you are looking at a new one)
The offers aren't quite as good as 18 months ago, however,
Renault 'offered' me a new 200 Cup recently (mines due for PCP renewal time) and within two emails I had the price down by...
