VW stepped up their game.

Yeah the Golf is a more premium car than it was 5-8 year ago and Toyota managed to improve the Yaris while introducing the popular Aygo. What did Renault do? They remained as meh! Engine-wise they are not pushing the bounderies of fuel economy and neither are they developing any exciting hot hatch versions of the Clio. It's a no-man's land car.
