Cheers, RR. My other half spotted this the other night. I thought it had been dropped too, clearly there was a change of mind :happy2: I much prefer it to TG - It's much closer to the old format of TG, which I prefer (which comes as no surprise as it is/was most of the orginal production team).

I don't see the Rocco as a hatchback, so:

Golf
Meggy
RS

But RS van ferry boat last whichever way.

the rocco is a hot hatch, if its not then what is it.  it has 4 seats, a decent boot, granted its not as big as the golf/focus,  but it is a sleeker designed 3dr hatch.

the R needs to be good on this, its the only one with the AWD, all the others are high power FWD.  the meganne and focus both have mechanical diff, rocco has that XDS jobbie.

not even ranking the mazda in with them, i really cant see it cutting the mustard dynamically with them.  im interested to see how the RS's power advantage holds up against the others though.

What power advantage??? :confused:

No one has apparently tested one on a RR yet that has reached higher than 280bhp standard.
