On paper it looks quick and style wise I reckon that's a really good looking car.

but it's made by renault and will break.

I really wish the French and Italians would let the germans or  japanese built their cars. So many look beautiful but i'd never risk buying one.

Looks pants, the Rocco looks far more aggressive. Only thing the Renault has on the Rocco is... the shiny photoshop  :grin:

Well the one thing the french can do is make a car handle, all the rest is sh!te, but no doubt this megane will handle, well if the old megane sport is anything to go by. why cant we have german build quality, the frenchies handling, and the japenese power plants!!  :cool:

I really dislike Jap engines.  Who wants peak power at 8000 rpm??  Even my 16v is a bit "high end" at times. Give me a VW V6 or an Audi V8 any day of the week.

We caught the performance three-door virtually undisguised at the Nürburgring race circuit in Germany – and our exclusive illustrations show how the finished model will look.

At first glance, the prototype – which was spied undergoing testing – resembles the regular three-door Mégane.

This gets on my tits. None of these cars are "spied" at the ring. They are taken to the ring for a bit of PR.

'Rocco definitely.  Those computer generated images look OK, but the test drive pic looks shocking.  I plan to have a 'rocco in a couple of years once the prices have dropped.
