More cars are implementing 4-wheel steering. But is it worth it?

I like this new Megane.
 
That RS Connect feature, especially the connection of a camera or smartphone for a webcam, could make for some good streaming.

Makes for even better crash videos of morons severely overestimating their driving skills.

*fade to those three Ring rollovers of white Megane RSs that look like the same crash but are all different*
 
My wife saw it before me. The wheels are turning.
 
Why can't we get these beauties driving around Canada to clean our views from the total lack of any sort of charisma provided by the Japanese/South Corean products?

Uhm, Lexus, Acura, and pretty much anything Kia and Hyundai make would have a word with you on that.
 
Meh, still prefer the alfa 147 gta
 
Isn't the Ford Focus RS a hot hatch, or am I missing something?

If the RS is indeed a hot hatch, that "most powerful" claim by the Renault doesn't hold water...

What claim?
 
The Megane RS, is the most powerful Megane RS. Is the Focus RS a hot hatch? Thought only fast fwd hatches are hot hatches. I think the old awd Peugeot was hot, but was it in the same league as a VW GTI?

Edfit: Dang, Famine beat me to it.

anyway, to answer my own question: The Mazda 323 GTX was paired against the GTI, Colt Turbo. So, I guess the Focus could be a hot hatch. It's more like a Hyper hatch.

It's the most powerful Megane.

I admit I misread the article a bit, but it was this:
Due to go on sale in early 2018, the new Megane RS is the most powerful ever,

I wasn't sure if it was about the Megane or hot hatches in general.

I retract my prior statement.
