Meanwhile Ford’s Focus RS, Renault’s Mégane R26R and no less than three fast Subarus head up a strong showing from the hardcore hatchbacks. The show also sees the launch of the Vauxhall Insignia – a car that GM hope will challenge the Ford Mondeo’s dynamic supremacy in the world front-wheel drive saloons.
