The Truth About Cars have published a review of the Renault Mégane R26.R hatchback. 'The Mégane R26.R is simply unmistakable, even if it's a Renault hatchback. Clock the 18-inch alloys and Piet Mondrian-worthy geometric decals in red ink. And there's the Lunar Grey paint contrasting against the carbon fiber hood: a not so subtle reminder this three-door is far more than the tall roofline and dorky C-pillar implies. Rear spoiler aside, there's simply no way to get around the Mégane R26.R's hatchback roots. But this isn't a rice boy poseur: resting against the near weightless polycarbonate rear/quarter windows gives the kinds of goose bumps that only come from a real race car.'
