The first images of Renault’s mid-size Laguna Coupe have been leaked into the net prior to the coupe’s official debut that was scheduled to happen tomorrow afternoon (Saturday May 24) at the Cannes film festival. As anticipated, Renault’s designers didn’t stray too far away from last year’s Laguna Coupe Concept with the overall styling bringing to mind a cross between an Aston Martin and a Ford Cougar Coupe.

As its name clearly suggests, Renault’s new coupe is based on the new Laguna 5door hatch, but it’s a tad shorter at 4.64m long, wider and of course, lower. The Coupe will come equipped the existing 2.0-liter engine range from the Laguna hatch in addition to a new 235Hp 3.0-liter V6 diesel and a 240Hp 3.5-liter V6 petrol unit. The Laguna Coupe is expected to go on sale in Europe during the fourth quarter of the year. –Image gallery after the jump

    looks ok in profile and the rear but the front puts me off, never liked the new laguna nose on the saloon although it works better on this coupe

    Really impesive!!
    Renault has calmed down its design prior to bad Avantime and Vel Satis. It's good that they changed headlights comparing to liftback/kombi. And the tailgate is amazing.ASTONishing & BMWaised. Look at the boot cover. It looks that it will hang to the half of C pillar.
    407 coupe is boring, maybe the reason is that Pug designed it without pininfarina (as 406 was). And its biiiigggg. Laguna coupe looks like compact. Bravo!!!!
