New RenaultSport Megane

what a attractive front end...
wouldnt like to replace that badge..probally cost 100 quid with so much shiny chrome plastic used to make it.

 

The Alfa giulietta isn't bad on the reliability front, I work down the road from an Italian specialist and he says they are miles better than alfas of the past, he has branched out and does more work on Bmw cam chain failures as they seem to be common.

 

Ive got to say that I dont think that it looks nice from any angle. Maybe I will change my mind when I see it on the road.

 

I meant the Megane with the above comment. The Alfa though is gorgeous

 

I think the badge could be bigger

 

It's just in case you forget you're driving a renault [emoji848]

The first thing my non-car friends said about my Trophy was (sarky) "is it a renault?!?! that front badge is massive"

I guess Mercedes make the badges huge on their cars too.....

its such a shame..the facelift trophy was a great looking car,with a very sharp looking front end...apart from the comedy sized badge.
The facelifted lights looked great.

 

Under a month to the Frankfurt Motor Show and all quiet on the Renault front.

 

Why would they announce it before the announcement?

 

oh no, its all quiet, must be shit

 

LoL

 

Sounds like 4 different modes

Also very 'whooshy' !

 

Sounds nice

 

Looks awesome and sounds awesome

 

Doesn't sound too dissimilar to a mk3?

 

I mean.. sure it sounds like another 4 pot forced induction engine but it does sound different. There's a lot of turbo whistle in that I've not noticed in a mk3, it even possibly sounds a smidge smoother to me but meh.... who buys a 4 pot hot hatch for the sound right?

 

Sounds a bit like a 275 Akrapovic:

 

Sounds bad ass!

Sounds decent there. No telling if it's a production exhaust I guess though.

 

That's what I thought, with a bit more whistle like my R26 had.

 

And it sounds like the whistle is more from the induction side and could be non-standard as it's a development car.

 

Do the latest Renault have switchable exhausts? Would be a really good feature in the rs

 

When is this meant to be unveiled [emoji848]

Frankfurt motor show (hopefully anyway, as I'll be there!)

 

Not the new RS but it might keep us going for a few more days.

That's what it should have looked like, sans spoiler !

2 weeks to go and the Renault PR department is chilling.

 

They really aren't very good at marketing their products, are they? Others would be leaking bits of information or pictures to build some hype.

 

Yea they certainly could take a leaf out of Honda / Fords book

So what would you like Renault to do?

 

Something like this to get us interested and build the suspense

 

I'll wait for Chris Harris to review it before I paraphrase his opinion as my own without having driven it.

 

I can't wait for two weeks time so you can then spend hours each day picking fault in a product you have no inclination whatsoever to purchase.

 

Its so funny, he is either very thick skinned or just does not get it

 

Not even a little tease. Ford knocked out a PR masterclass with the RS.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather the budget was spent on the product but compared to the Alpine.....

 

The next Megane will serve to shape and focus my future preferences. It's going to be a key moment in the Renaultsport journey.
