Renault and Ford have joined forces to create the perfect small car for
women. Prototypes are currently being field tested.
A mix of the best features of the Renault ?Clio? and the Ford's wildly successful ?Taurus?,
the new vehicle is called the ?Clitaurus.?
Currently it is planned to only offer the vehicle in pink. It is expected that even if the
average male car thief finds one he won't understand how turn it on,
even if he finds the owner's manual.
There are some difficulties being reported.
Prototypes are prone to leaking transmission fluid once a month, and they
are generally hard to start in the morning. Some reports have been received
that on cold winter mornings, when you really need a ride, you can?t get it to turn over.
Also, for reasons yet to be discovered, some times the cars are so noisy it is impossible
to hear the radio, yet at other times the cars become so quiet it is difficult
to tell if they are running. Repair people are working around the clock to understand
both these issues.
While new models are initially fun to own, they rapidly become costly to maintain and
expensive to get rid of.
Used models initially appear to have great curb appeal,combined with an initial low price,
but eventually an increased appetite for fuel causes the expenses and curb weight to increase
as the vehicle ages.
Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the trunk increases as the car ages.
This model is not expected to reach collector status. Most owners may find it
best to lease one and replace it each year, avoiding any long term commitment.
