Although we’ve seen these pictures of the unmasked 2009 Renault Megane before, our friend Stavros sent us a new set of high-res versions that were scanned from British car magazine Autoexpress. The larger images allow us to get a better view of the VW Golf-sized French compact hatch that seems to have been scooped (?) inside Renault’s factory. The new Megane, which is partially inspired from the 2008 Geneva Show Megane Coupe concept, will be available in five-door and three-door/coupe versions that differ significantly in design. The Megane’s debut is planned for the forthcoming Paris Show this fall, with sales following shortly after. –More pics after the jump

So much less original than the previous Megane. Good looking, just nothing special.
+1
it seems like the previous version meganes won't be falling off a cliff in the depreciation department with how "boring" this hatch looks.
I was expecting to see something more radical...
Why were you expecting to see something radical?
As we have already seen with the Laguna III and new Twingo, Renault has ditched the innovative styling in an effort to make their models seem more 'sensible' and this has included (for the better) superior interior quality than previous generations.
I think the Megane III is the most striking of Renault's new offerings, and while I'm dissapointed it wasn't a bit more daring, remember this is only the bread and butter version. The RenaultSport version will be the one to watch.
Nice that Renault brought back the coupe, though.
