Nissan 350Z
The fact its continually bested in road tests by the Golf GTI, Astra VXR and Focus ST surely means with the Megane, renault has not produced a class leading car.
I suspect the 197 will become class leading anyway, even if its not better than the 182, simply because in its class, there is no competition. I mean, Ibiza Cupra? Same pace, but bland turbo charged engine, and lack of handling. Fiesta ST? Good handling but lack of pace.... this is a theme that can be repeated over and over for all of its rivals.
However, whether it becomes class leading or not, i wont be selling my 182 for one, not ever.
