Renault Megane spied





Pretty impressive…
Indeed, though the nature of this particular straight at the Nurburgring means just about everything can get airborne here. This is the next Megane, rather than any sort of hardcore-spec Renaultsport product – the game being given away by this car's wider wheelarches and bonnet vent on a pre-facelift car. The Mk3 car will make its debut in production form at the Paris Motor Show in autumn 2008. The Mk6 VW Golf is also pencilled in to be shown in Paris at the same time…
Will the next Renault Megane be as good looking as the current car?
That’s a subjective thing: the current Megane has sold well in the UK, but sales have been more sporadic around mainland Europe. Blame that shapely rear, which will be toned down for the next generation car. However, the new Megane will still be adventurously styled, and won’t have any of the conservatism that features heavily on the new Laguna. The Megane range currently kicks off with a 1.4-litre at £11,960 and we expect the Mk3 range to start at under £12k, too. Renault could however spring a surprise, and start the range with the turbocharged 1.2-litre currently found in the Twingo.
