Traditionally it's the Megane that is perceived as the GT3 of hot hatches.

For me the Honda would be a Lamborghini of hot hatches.
Performante perhaps 
I think you're right, the old Megane is the GT3 (i.e R26R), but the new one is automatic right? Perhaps the FK8 is the new Megane... HMMM. One of the big rental companies at the Nurburgring told us that the FK8 is their favourite FWD car yet!

The new one is still manual. The old one is the one that is often called the GT3 HH. The 26R is the old old one, which is still brilliant.
The FK8 vs Megane 275 test here was quite interesting, it was close but they slightly preferred the Megane.

I thought they'd killed the manual, glad to hear otherwise!
