2507.0. "Renault Megane" by WOTVAX::HILLN (It's OK, it'll be dark by nightfall) Wed Mar 27 1996 15:10

    Has anyone made enquiries about the cost of one of these on the scheme? 
    Or am I likely to be the first?

2507.2New model ??SNOTTY::BARRYPloppy Sir, Son of PloppyWed Mar 27 1996 18:027
Is this new Renault model meant to replace an existing model, or is it just an
addition. If the later, then where in the product range does it sit......between
the 19 and the Laguna maybe ??

I saw a 5-door Megane yesterday, and I have to say that in the flesh 
it isn't a particularly attractive car. Just imho of course.

    I've changed the topic title from "Renault Megane TD" 
    so this note can  be used for whole Megane range.

    I actually like the look of the coupe, I saw one on the road yesterday.
    Shame about the pathetic boot. 
    
    I wouldn't let JC put anyone off. He seems to rubbish anything that
    hasn't got the performance of an Escort Cosworth (mind you, he liked
    the Skoda Favorit. Bizarre!).

	My Renault magazine that arrived over the holiday has a picture
	of the Megane Scenic, the MPV model. This is the same length as 
	the hatchback but with a high roof and driving position. It has
	five individual removable seats (that can swivel in the front).

	It looks to me like the most interesting of the range, but won't
	be available until next Spring.

2507.11Pity, but OKWOTVAX::HILLNIt's OK, it'll be dark by nightfallTue Jun 04 1996 21:2719
    I've ordered a top of the range TD and was quoted dlivery of 1 August
    1996 - and yes I could pick it up at 2 mins past midnight.
    
    But the other day LP contacted me to say there was a problem.  I called
    and they suggested I talk direct to the dealer.  It seems there's a
    quality problem and Renault won't release it to production 'til it's
    fixed.
    
    The dealer then suggested getting a loan Laguna TD from Renault at no
    cost to LP, Digital or me.  They'll do the negotiation with Renault and
    have suggested that I can have it from the expiry date of the current
    lease for as long as is needed.
    
    So far my disappointment at the delay is well tempered by the display
    of customer service from the dealer and LP.
    
    Anyone know what the quality problem is?

    ..so he can drive around in the dark in a brand new P registered car for
    a few hours of course ! Not that anyone will notice though, the only
    people driving around at that time on August 1st are all to busy posing
    in _their_ brand new cars %^)
