Renault Coupe twins debut in London
October 21, 2008 by Matt Brogan
Several weeks ahead of their official launch, the stunning new Renault Mégane Coupé and Laguna Coupé will make their UK debut in London tonight at the exclusive French Chamber of Commerce Business Club Cocktail.
Fresh from their world unveilings at the Paris motor show, this will be the first time that the Coupé twins will have been seen alongside the new Mégane Hatch. Sharing the stage will be a Renault C-Type (circa 1900), one of the earliest cars from Renault UK’s collection.
“Even from the early days, with such cars as the C-Type, Renault has produced innovative and stylish designs.” remarked Roland Bouchara, Renault UK Managing Director, ” These stunning new cars herald a new era of chic, French automotive beauty for us and I am delighted to be hosting the evening.”
The new Mégane Hatch goes on sale in the UK on November 26th with the Mégane Coupé and Laguna Coupé due in January. Australian delivery of the new Mégane Hatch or the gorgeous twins has not yet been confirmed.
Print it: 
lookin good, but easier to make a good looking 2 door, 4 doors is the challenge, look at Lambo and Porsche, who should stick to 2 doors. Aston and Maserati can do it.
The french can make anything look good. The question is about their reliability.
The Laguna actually looks beautiful.
Interesting mix.. The Laguna Coupe looks like a french version of an Aston Martin crossed with a Ford Cougar and the Megane looks like a VW Scirocco crossed with a Hyundai Tiburon.
That’s not to say that these cars are ugly but looks arent everything.. as Jeremy Clarkson says “I erm a French cer I am nert merde to go rernd ceurners I sherd be at herme making lerve”
Actually, I think that with the right engines, these will be pretty good cars. The Laguna GT with the four wheel steering is actually surprisingly good and obviously a RenaultSport Magane coupe. Also, theres a 3.0 V6 going into the Laguna Coupe soon so that could be interesting. I think they are both good looking cars, maybe just a tad bland, but good lines.
man they are hot cars etter than a falcodore or a corrola.and really id much rather have a c ar with personality that has less than admirable reliability than drive a fridge
These are beauts! But the regular Aussie bloke ain’t gonna give up his Commodore or Falcon for a prestigious European Coupe. Sad, but its the truth.
Renault reckons the Mégane will be in Australia either late 2009 or early 2010 which sucks but what sucks even more is that they have no plans yet to introduce the Laguna Coupe! I’d love the V6 diesel Laguna Coupe with 4-Wheel Steering…
