I think that actually looks quite nice, considering how bad the last one looked (and the new standard one)
Arrived 23rd March '09 - Lovin' it

Yes and No, will VW produce a car that power wise is so closely matched to the 2.0 ltr GT, a few of us are already producing more power than that with just a Re-Map and uprated exhaust! for under a grand.
Also its french
Car is now Sold!!!!! BMW 7 Series for now as nice and big but holding out for something a little special as my toy

i sat in a magane coupe (first one in uk and should have been kept as one) last october, its horrible, you think a scirocco is bad in the back, its no 26r, the chap from renault did ask if i was interested in buying one, i let him know i'd had my scirocco for a week, i'm sure in 10 years time there will be plenty of rocs on the road still, when was the last time you saw a renault 19 16v etc

The front end on the regular megane coupe looks better than the renaultsport one!

Dam, wish I hadn't got the Roc after seeing that
I've had one French car and that was one too many!

That's what I thought when I saw the advert aswell
On the plus side apart the last Renaultsport Meagane was supposed to be one of the best in class but I it was so hideously ugly I just couldnt bring myself to even test drive it let alone consider buying one. At least the new model looks half decent now!

the sort of car you'd like to drive but then give the keys back, the focus rs is the car which will shake up the hot hatch market (if you like that thing)
vw has the classier image

What is it with modern French cars?? The Renault megane and Laguna are both hideous and the Peugeot 407 looks like a basking shark!!
Quite like the look of the pug 508 concept though
With the reliability experience I have had with my 406 coupe however I am not sure I could trust another Peugeot.
