I had the opportunity to witness the unveiling of the new megane GT automatic. My first impressions are very impressive. The quality is a big step from the previous generation and a million miles from mine. I was expecting the new megane to be just a big clio but its a lot different.

The one in the seen was a 1.6 automatic with 205 bhp. I was told it is actually not a de tuned clio rs engine, the block is completely different. 0 - 62 in around 7.1 seconds if I remember correctly does make me wonder what the new RS would be like.

The interior is a nice place to be. Quality feel, "mood lights" in the doors are a nice feature, touch screen dash reminds me of the new renaut espace. The rear lights are similar to the RS 01 (which we all want renault to make a road going version. I would sell my house for that, if my wife would let me). Adaptive cruise control, digital display.

The "4 way steering" I am not sure if its such a good idea in a country with potholes this big and I am personally not a fan of electric hand brakes.

It has the famous Renault Sports badge at the back. Not sure if its a good idea to make the RS more main stream but then again merc, audi and bm have their sports packs with the sport name....

All in all a great car. Would I buy it? Yes but with panoramic roof and the twin turbo diesel (if available).

Being a megane cc fan I would wait for the cc version, if the go ahead with the twin turbo 1.6dci 150bhp version.
 
Looks cool although I've heard the upcoming RS will ditch the 2.0 and the manual gearbox and go for a 1.6 with an automatic like the current clio rs :/
