One thing's for certain, for at least 4 years there'll be people saying they prefer the looks of the old one, and how lardy and s**t the new one is...before buying one when they can afford it, and it's "grown on me".
I have no problem with LED running lights TBH, as long as they are well done. Move with the times people. In 3 years you'll all be w**king off over your LEDs in similar way to your flickering xenons

who says it has paltry power? is anything confirmed? i for one am interested as it will be launched around when i am looking to buy a new car. but will reserve judgement until everything is official.
for now, the front end looks good imo.

It's not all about raw power though is it. It's how you use the power. Also, is the RS Megane even in the same class as the Focus RS? I wouldn't have said so.

No, i suppose its more in competition with the ST.

its only a concept though isnt it?
the current megane is off the pace as well with out and out bhp potential, more about handling.

Indeed.
The existing and as previously mentioned heavier* 230bhp Megane destroys its rivals. This car will be the beginning (Lower power output than forthcoming versions as per product cycle rules)
The FRS is obviously a rival, but its more of a niche product.
*Based on a comparison with launched versions of the 2009 model.

Better than yours. C*nt.
Destroyed?! Roffle. Ok sunshine!
Lest we forget that the '230bhp' Golf GTI Ed30 actually rolls at around 250-260 from most owner's experiences... Has incredible feedback when you're driving on the limit (to the point where it can wiggle a wheel in the air) and also comes with a gearbox which is a stroke of genius for track driving...
Edit - and that's the outgoing model...

The R26 will pull away from an S3 (as noted by Autocar). As for the DSG? Can't stand it. Still automatically upchanges at the redline, which is pretty hideous for a track set-up.
Great cars, but not as good a drivers car as the R26.
(Not sure what links feedback and wiggling a wheel in the air?)

stupid comment.
the focus ST (which R26`s wee`s all over) is of a higher output and handles much better / faster round track etc.. and cheaper.
the new meganesport will compete against the focus ST, golf GTi 210bhp hence it will have more power than those and weight less + have an LSD which neither of those two do.
the R26R is the competitor to the Focus RS if you want to look at it that way, both use a revo knuckle and LSD, the R26R went for 125kg weight strip, proper seats, cage, tyres, even poly windows and titainium exhaust.. the focus RS went for a Remap and a fancy bodykit over the R26`s already standard features
ultimatley i would imagine more fun in the R26R than the focus RS, but the childhood chavs in most men will love the looks of the Focus RS and the higher power output.
power to weight is simular on both.
given fords a massive company vs renault i dont think reno do too bad.
finally although i think 99% of people will think your comment was wrong and misjudged the price of the Focus RS over a discounted (and there are always discounts) meganesport will be substancial.
the interior on the new megane looks nicer than the focus, and the safety is on par if not better with it being a whole new 5star ncap renault design.
duhhh...

It's not all about power as people keep going on about.
I'm sure the new Megane will be 250ps and probably around 200kgs lighter than the Focus RS, so i'm sure the power/weight won't be far off.
Look at what the R26.R gets put up against with 230ps and still comes out on top on track, due to how it delivers the power and the handling of the chassis.
Definately worth waitng a year or so to see what other versions of the new RS Megane come out though.

My DSG changes when I hit the limiter, not at redline - which seems fine for me as if you bounce off the limiter you waste power. And I'm not entirely sure what S3 they raced, but my Pirelli pulls lengths on my mate's 230...
There's no knocking, the Megane is a brilliant bit of kit, but if you spend a bit more, you get a bit more IMHO. If it makes you feel better, the R26.R was on my list to choose from...
its not meant to be amazing to live with its the height of the hothatch pyramid. it is like it is for a reason, not to be comfortable, etc.
as for hype... see focusRS
as for overrated... 8.17(12) around the ring.
play the game
Better than yours. C*nt.
Maybe getting out more is in order... Sorry, but I just think that's absolute rubbish.
A hot hatch still needs to be liveable - the R isn't, and as such is more a track car than a hot hatch...
yeh because my social status and actions has anything to do with the percieved conceptions of a car...
opinion.. you think its rubbish, i dont... end (IMO)
Clio 182.
I think youre being a bit short sighted tbh. By the time this new RS megane comes out, there will probably be a faster Astra and Golf to compete with too - all hoping to take sales from the focus RS. You cant compare performance figures with outgoing models. You're also presuming that the new megane will be as good as the R26.
Dont get me wrong, i love the R26 and im not a fan of the ST at all, but i think renault are going to make the same mistake they did with the 197 and make it underpowered.
Also, not too keen on having my opinion stated as "stupid" by a person who cant even spell similar.
Better than yours. C*nt.
Looking over that one post, I don't think you need to worry. He can't spell much in it so I think it's fair to say he's hardly in any position to call someone stupid.
And Welsharab - nobody said that I thought it was rubbish, just that it's not a hot hatch - the idea of a hot hatch was to stick a big engine is a normal car, not to ruin the normal car.
Just my opinion, but it's one that quite a few people share. The R is a track car...
