Just my observation.

Certainly in my part of the country, South Devon, I’ve seen many more mark 2 forfours than Renault Twingos.

Yeah the twingos have not sold well and given there is an electric ForFour, when I asked about an electric twingo the Renault dealer just laughed and said they hardly sell any twingos let alone if they were electric

I think it’s a better looking car than the ForFour but it’s under competition from the Clio

Interesting comments JJ. I on the other hand am quite warming to the ‘new’ forfour. Not that I’m thinking of replacing either of mine any time soon!  ;)

lets be quite honest... the gen 2 forfour does looks better than the new fortwo. the fortwos dimensions dont look right compared to the forfour... but there again the exclusivity of the 454 is something to be noted.
