maxi-glasgow Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Anyone seen the adverts for the new Peugot? Looks very similar to an Audi TT.... Just reading up about it, how can you claim to be a sports coupe and yet only put 1.6L petrol and 2.0L diesel engine in it??? http://www.peugeot.co.uk/vehicles/peugeot-car-range/peugeot-rcz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich5259 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Is that a wood effect roof? nope, it's high gloss reflecting the strip lights above as stripes ( or wood grain to you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Drove past one in Buttermere a few weeks ago, looked like a better version of the 307cc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I drove past one about 2 weeks ago, I was trying to work out what it was, as I've not seen any adverts for it. When I saw the badge, I thought well, okay, styling isn't too bad, but with Peugeot badge - No wonder he pulled over from the outside lane to the middle lane when he saw me coming along!! Thing is, all French cars have a bad name, it's a shame. It's a bit like Alfa Romeo - some of the cars have some really great styling, although it's an Alfa, you just know things are going to go wrong - a shame!

Digsy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I think they look great but, like the TT/Scirocco, they're nothing more than a pretty body on regular hatchback underpinnings. I doubt they're after the same customers as Zeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Looks interesting from the back, but why did they put a stupid peugot front on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 looked nice in the flesh when i saw it at the MPH show last year. Having had a peugeot with lots of problems at only 2 yrs old I would never buy another though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Back lights look like rounded off 350 lights. Would be a nice girls car (not being derogatory to you sprinkles on here of course - aimed at normal girls...no wait that didnt come out right...I mean normal girls as in girls that don't know nor care about cars...ah you know what i mean..don't you?? ) Snow plow anyone?!

rtbiscuit Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 i happen to like pugs, but they haven't done anything of any significance in many years. the good old days of the 205 GTI and the 306 GTI6 are dead. but this is designed to reignite the french market because at the moment even the french have gone off peugeot. the exterior styling on it is very clever. as the roof has a double bubble effect to it. the biggest let down is the front grille. but an after market kit would soon fix that. as for the engine its the same unit found in the mini 1.6 and a 1.6 turbo. and will be the same unit going into the mini coupe when its released (much prefer the looks of that) i was hoping it to be so much more. but for what its designed for (which is not for people like us) i think it has potential. if you've seen teh future designs for the pug coupe the new i think its designated SR1 is very nice http://www.peugeot.com/en/news/2010/1/7 ... 4wod8iu6JA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Dunno how - but I've had a few teaser leaflets over the last few months and a very posh invite through the post last week to go test drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
