No data yet, but comment away on the styling. Personally? I think it's weird. Big ol' schnozz and that wierd upkick above the front fender - looks front-heavy.
Those frenchies really need to quit what they are smoking. They are getting uglier by the day, I would ever consider a Citroen, I would then test drive one and laugh at myself for ever considering it. I have no idea how any of the French Auto Companies are so successful.
What's really interesting is the STEPPED HOODS that car styling must endure today with the pedestrian collision regulation (i.e. That step height required to raise the gap between hood and engine... to act as a... impact space of sorts.).
Every car company will have fun trying to design around it such that they don't all look the same/similar.
i saw the current generation in racing form at the nurburgring this weekend. it was the world series by renault. i admit the styling does grow on you. the new generation has made the rear end less protruding. it looks subtle. it kind of looks like my mazda3 from the side.
I like it better than the current one, but French styling [with respect to cars, at least] has never exactly been my cup of tea [or cappuccino?], the Citroën DS being the exception.

It reminds me of an Infiniti EX 35 and that car still offends me appearance wise. Each new gen just gets worse for me so I'll have to chalk it up to growing old/er and start looking for my Crown Victoria.
e36 MIII loaded with mods and stuff....still slow as hell.
Lots of things to like about it, but one thing bugs me, and that is the unnatural way the sculpture along the belt/midsection makes rises up-and-over the wheel opening. It's not as bad as a first-generation Hyundai Santa Fe in its clumsiness, but it's close. It sullies an otherwise fairly decent-looking car, IMO.
Top-edge of Santa Fe's fenderline goes uphill at the A-pillar for no good reason except to make the car look dopey:

That was a tragic Hyundai design 'language' in the 90s. It didn't look too bad in their various concepts with their 50" wheels, but when production came around... the fender accentuation was just an attrocity. Remember the Tiburon's fenders? Uggggh.

Never quite saw the appeal of haunches on a front whee drive car.
I like it except for that curve over the front fenders. That kills it for me. I'm surprised to see them going away from the vertical rear glass. That was a very unique element that really distinguished their car. The new one looks a bit less unique as compared to it's competition than the previous one.
Congratulations, Renault. Now you made your Megane look like every other family hatchback on the market.
I still think the current Megane looks great and distinctive no matter what haters say.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?
