The most wanted hatchback in the world?
The transverse mid engine RenaultSport Clio V6

Check out this video clip if you have time: http://www.renault.com/gb/produits/clio_V6.htm
I am glad that the French can (finally) do something right
.
Check out the latest edition of "Evo" magazine for more info.
I'd take this over VW R32 or Focus RS.

those are pretty sweet cars but I've seen lots of good stuff on the R32's. EVO magazine in Europe rated it the best AWD car over the Euro spec STI's and EVO's both. Plus the HPA stage II turbo on an R32 puts out 550HP !!!!!!!!! Here's a vid of an 11 second run

Saw the SCC review of the 255 a while back and it impressed me on paper at least. An interseting concept if you can use the car as a track rat or something along the lines of a third car considering your engine is in your trunk in a case behind your seats.

Now the Clio has way too much oversteer for me, Im polish and a buddy of my leased one in Cracow, I had a chance to test drive it last summer, it was an older model thou, but it looks almost same. BTW its over priced too, I wouldnt buy it, I would go with S3 or R32.
