It seems that every auto manufacturer applies the bloat-pump to each successive version of their established models, together with, usually, substantial extra weight to trail around. Just look at the size of, say, the current Fiesta against the original. And, as for the moronic application of 'crossover' status to existing platforms, thereby compounding the weight increase and reducing aerodynamic effiencies..........
Surely increased engine efficiencies which are being applied at long last by the manufacturers are being eroded by increasing losses incurred by ever larger and heavier cars? The World needs more NETT fuel efficiency.
Anyway, good luck to Renault with this one. I hope that their reliability record, service costs and rates of depreciation improve.
