New version of the Clio RenaultSport is going on sale next month, boasting an extra 10bhp over the current 172. Probably in response to the Peogeot 206GTi 180.

AutoExpress says there will be a normal RenaultSport 182 version with new exhaust and ECU changes, a lightweight Clio Cup version and a luxurious version.

Thats quite a bold statment to make. It can be better in your opinion, but there are far more vauxhalls i'd own with the current range than any Citreon or Pugs.
VX220/Turbo
Corsa GSi (if its ever released)
AStra Turbo
Astra Convertable 2.2
Astra Coupe Turbo/888
Vectra 3.2 V6 (not to everyones taste, but in the looks dept Vaux have tried to gone prestige)
Zaferia GSi

Oh yeah, but on another note, its good to see some of the car manufactures trying to put big powered engines in small cars 
Im still yet to have a play with a 172, would be pretty even stevens me thinks.

this was the reason for my saying 99%
i consider french hatches like clio 172 cup, clio williams to be better cars then an astra coupe turbo or zafira gsi

YEah, would beat me deffo, would be damn close with a stripped out corsa on 15"s though. 17.7 to 100mph, slightly faster than me, think i'd hit it in about 20 tops.,
