But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

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.
