Here are the first shots of the Renault Megane III confirming what we already suspected – the next generation will be based on the Renault Altica concept meaning the hideous hatchback rear styling seen on the current generation will be replaced by a more conventional style.
The new Megane will come in just about every form imaginable with the small family car to be offered in 3 & 5 door hatchback guise as well as sedan, coupe, convertible, station wagon and we may even see crossover body-styles.
Set to do battle with the Peugeot 308, Fiat Bravo and the unreleased VW Golf VI, we should see the model debut during 2008 with the Paris Motor Show being the most likely destination.

the current cars rear end is not hideous. it is a great piece of industrial design, and still manages to look amazing 6 years on. its wonderfully original and its clear renault have and cannot replicate that with this third generation model.

Now THAT is hideous. To paraphrase Jeremy Clarkson, it looks like a dog taking a dump.

Ghosn already said Renault's cars will look more adventurous after the boring Laguna so WCF can't even get the rendering right. A bit of research beforehand would do the world of good.
