RENAULT appears to have cornered the
market in sporting halo models.
Not content with hot Renaultsport ver-
sions of its Twingo, Clio and M�gane
hatchbacks, it has also revived the historic
Gordini name and its distinctive blue with
white stripes livery.
It all helped the French marque
to an unprecented hat-trick in
the `Best Hot Hatch' category at
the prestigious What Car? maga-
zine awards.
The Twingo Renaultsport 133
Cup small hatchback won the
under �15,000 category, the
Clio Renaultsport 200 Cup won
the �15,000-20,000 section and
the new M�gane Renaultsport 250 won the
�20,000-plus group.
To top it all, the M�gane was also crowned
overall `Hot Hatch of the Year 2010'.
But the self-styled `Createur d'Automobiles'
is not just about sporting models; it has also
led in supermini design and single-handedly
created the people carrier sector.
The three/five-door Clio (from �10,709)
range took over from the legendary Renault 5
and now delivers a level of ride comfort and
cabin space combined with French chic that
has made it a UK best seller.
It also now has a baby brother
in the three-door Twingo (from
�7,552) contesting the city car
sector.
Renault contests the traditional
company car sector with the
Laguna hatchback and estate
(from �18,075) but is probably
better known for MPVs, having
launched the sector with the orig-
inal 1980s-vintage Espace.
This continues with a modern successor
(from �20,730), but Renault sells more of
its smaller Scenic sister range (from
�14,703) � itself a pioneer of the compact or
midi-MPV sector.

VAUXHALL did not waste any time bring-
ing its most miserly version of the all-new
sixth generation Astra to market.
Just weeks after the classy five-door hatch
arrived in showrooms (from �15,736)
proudly wearing a `made in Britain' label,
the ecoFLEX version can be ordered, priced
from �17,920.
For the company car driver
though, the figures that matter
are a 12.1 per cent improve-
ment in emissions over the con-
ventional 1.7-litre diesel model,
road tax at �35 and 13 per cent
less benefit in kind taxation.
Like Vauxhall's other envi-
ronment and pocket-friendly
ecoFLEX versions of popular
models, the Astra `greenie' uses a combina-
tion of re-mapped powertrain and improved
aerodynamics, without major changes to the
positive driving experience.
The new Astra narrowly missed out on
the current European Car of the Year title,
a win that would have followed up on an
outright victory for Vauxhall's big and
stylish Insignia saloon/hatchback/estate
range (from �18,070) � last year's replace-
ment for the long-running Vectra company
car contender.
The UK arm of General Motors is
also playing to design strengths elsewhere,
with the Corsa three/five-door
hatchback (from �10,507) one
of Britain's top three favourite
cars, while the cleverly-pack-
aged seven-seats-as-standard
Zafira continues to lead the
midi-MPV sector.
Vauxhall also offers the
Meriva mini-MPV � officially
priced from �13,738 though
replacement later this year
suggests there will be keen deals around �
and the clever Agila supermini-MPV
(from �8,473).
The griffin-badge brand also has a stylish
contender in the 4x4/SUV sector, the
Antara � deceptively luxurious and priced
from �21,956.
