Renault and Ford are working on a new small car for women. They are mixing the Clio and the Taurus, and calling it the "Clitaurus."
It comes in pink, and the average male thief won't be able to find it, even if someone tells him where it is. :D

I've heard there's an issue in the manufacturing that has resulted in male mechanics finding it difficult to familiarise themselves with the cars. As a dramatic step alot of women owners are servicing them themselves. :lol:

Early reports suggest it has intermittent oil leaks that are never found by mechanics. They become temperamental and refuse to be driven :roll: Most examples have been back to the shop once a month since purchase for said problems.

Given a few days, they are fine followed by an Italian tune up......

*******THIS JUST IN*******

Both companies responsable for the release of this vehicle have acted on recent consumer feedback findings that state more and more male owners are regretting the purchase of the model. They have also discovered that it has become a preferance to many male drivers to simply hire the model instead.

One representive has been quoted as saying...

"We have found that a large number of male owners have abandoned their purchases stating poor performance. These owners, as well as some men that have never actually owned the model have discovered that there is a great benefit to simply 'renting' when desired instead of owning one outright. In the long run the reduction in cost is astronomical as maintenence and day to day up keeping costs are completely abolished. Another up side is that there are many different varieties available."

Dedicated owners across the globe have protested in outrage stating "If you truly love it enough to want it so often then you should be more willing to dedicate the time and money it takes keep it. It's not about reliability, it's about passion."

Representatives promptly replied stating "thats ok when your willing to spend more time looking after them than you do actually driving them."

This just in...........

Renault and Ford agree that this model does have it's flaws. Poor French build standards and Ford's lack of quality control has resulted in Male drivers being confused while driving several cars from the same model. Male drivers are complaining that all the controls and buttons are in the same place but they function differently from car to car. Some cars you can just jump in for a fun ride while others must be fiddled with under the hood before hopping in. Also, interior buttons lead to differing out comes such as the horn button either activating a horn or sometimes turning on the air-con to cool the driver.

Male drivers say that a detailed individual manual should be issued with each car and said manual must be read and understood before trying to drive each car. Applying a manual from one car to the next rarely delivers worry free motoring.
