Geneva in March may not be a prime locale to launch convertibles, but that isn�t stopping Renault. Along with its new subcompact Wind roadster, the French automaker will launch its new M�gane Coupe-Cabriolet at the 2010 Geneva motor show.
Arguably, the pi�ce de r�sistance is the M�gane�stop itself. Like it�s predecessor, it is a retractable hardtop, but the steel roof panels have been replaced with two large glass panes. The transparent panels, coupled with support beams finished in black, help lend the car a top-down look even when fully deployed.
Styling is largely culled from the remainder of the M�gane range, which was completely overhauled in 2008. Taillights are similar to those used on the hatchback �Coupe� model, but the long rear decklid -- similar to that on Volvo�s C70 -- is unique to the Coupe-Cabriolet.
As is the case with its sedan and wagon siblings, the M�gane Coupe-Cabriolet is available with either gasoline or diesel powertrains. Perhaps the most notable is the 110-hp, 1.5-liter turbo-diesel I-4 -- it�s available with a new six-speed dual clutch transmission, a first for Renault.
Look for the new M�gane Coupe-Cabriolet to make its debut on March 4. Stay with Automobile Magazine for all the latest news from the Geneva motor show.
