This Astra is actually...

This Astra is actually a customer demonstrator based on the 170bhp SRi flagship. It has been fitted with Vauxhall"s Continuous Damper Control - hence the CDC badging on its bonnet and tailgate in the mag"s image.



The much-anticipated...

The much-anticipated model - identified by the "D" on the bootlid - should achieve at least 35mpg, thanks in part to its lightweight aluminium chassis. Powered by a modified version of the 204bhp 2.7-litre twin-turbo V6 from the S-Type, the XJ D will be no slouch. Fitted with the S"s automatic gearbox and boasting around 435Nm of torque, expect the car to hit 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Impressive mid-range acceleration and a top speed in excess of 140mph are also on the cards.

The all-new Renaultsport...

The all-new Renaultsport Mégane dCi 175 marks the company"s entry into the popular hot hatch oil-burner market.

Under the bonnet, the car has a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine with 173bhp. This drives the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and can take the Mégane from 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds and on to 137mph - yet returns an average 43.5mpg.

The model has 17-inch alloys, a beefy bodykit and sports seats, plus uprated suspension and Brembo brakes. It will be offered as both a three and five-door with prices from ÷£18,950 - that"s ÷£490 more than the recently revised petrol Renaultsport Mégane 225. A more extreme Cup version will be available with even stiffer dampers and an ESP stability system that can be switched off.

Meanwhile, Mégane buyers who want hot hatch looks without the performance can purchase a new range of accessories, including sports seats and aluminium pedals and gearlevers. The kit is also available for the Clio, but no prices have been confirmed.
