Here's What a Clio 4 Symbol Shouldn't Look Like

If you buy your firewood in bundles at gas stations and don't know how to grow your own vegetables, than you probably have no idea what the Renault Thalia or Symbol is.
It's one of the cheapest cars Renault has ever sold, aimed initially at the European market and later introduced to great success in South America. The old model based loosely on the Clio 3 is still made in Argentina, but a new one was released last year at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show for markets like Turkey or Algeria.

The new model is an identical clone of the Dacia Logan, basically having no connection to the Clio 4. But we wondered what it would be like if it did.

This creative little rendering is that car, the Symbol/Thalia 3, reimagined based on and looking exactly like the Clio 4. Nobody has a B-segment sedan with hidden rear door handles, a rather cool touch. But, the new Clio is quite expensive compared to what emerging market buyers expect, so it's likely never going to get such a version.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
