Many don't fully grasp the significance of the recent Megane sedan reveal. It's not just another body style, but the last one. After this, Renault will have to take a breather from developing new cars.
We're positive that a new Megane Cabriolet isn't going to happen. While the story hasn't been confirmed, Renault's actions speak louder than words. The company killed the quirky little Wind and never made a replacement.
Likewise, the Megane Cabriolet is about to die after only two generations. We've still got two of the most attractive convertibles based on hatchbacks, but the third would have been even better.
The rendering du jour byilu Theophs Chin shows what might have been. We should learn what future befits the Megane Coupe and CC towards the start of 2017. Until then, we might as well imagine that the rendering will come true.
She's a pretty little thing, like a long-legged model wearing a skirt she knows is too short. Most people wouldn't even have the guts to approach her because she's French. The Papa and Nicole people have done a fantastic job with the LED headlights and the grille.
Somehow, the Megane looks a lot more compact as a convertible than it does a "four-door coupe" as Renault wants to call it. The rear shoulders are so close the driver might be able to touch them.
Of course, the part that really made us fall in love with Renault again is under the hood. IF, such a car ever existed, the Megane CC might have a 1.6-liter turbo making more power than the Clio RS. Renault has pretty much given up development of the 2.0 dCi so you won't see any of those here. Instead, a 1.6-liter with two turbochargers would send power to the front via a standard EDC automatic.
There are several reasons why we don't buy convertibles, ranging from the financial to the practical. But sometimes, we realize just how much we are missing out.
