RCZ

[swiss]

Saw a TV spot for this car yesterday. Whadda we think? I likee ^^

[teamster1975]

Very sexy, it's vaguely got the lines of an Audi TT!

[swiss]

I was thinking that, but unlike the TT I don't think this one automatically makes the driver a hairdresser

[teamster1975]

Agreed, although the Mk2 TT wasn't quite so girly looking!

[swiss]

Oh no, you can be a man and own a TT, you're just a professional styler of female barnets is all. Nothing wrong with that, as such, if that's your lifestyle choice. I suppose

[EDIT] Bah, five studs >.<

[teamster1975]

I did a double take when I read the "five studs" comment until I looked at the pic again!

Undecided til I see one in the flesh.

Looks slightly derivative of the TT. Although it should be less pratt-ish as it is not German.

Still undecided about the pointy lights that pug has been wheeling out since the 206.

Ideal peugeot coupe would be a 504 or a 406 HDi.

Wish my 406 had been registered sooner - it has an SCZ nnnn plate...

You bounder Swiss , I was going to formulate the exact same topic having seen that there advert last night

It does look like a rip off of the TT. What's the betting that under the skin beats the heart of a 1.2 3-cylinder HDi capable of 148mpg

Seriously if they stick a Diesel in there I'm going to be cross. So there.

The advert revealed little about the car, even it's looks. Instead we are encouraged to pop along to our local dealer for a looky; where you can bet Mr Sales-man-Target will be happy to discuss your 'car buying solutions'

Interesting bum-shaped roof

Bum-shaped roof and a face like a Klingon's Helmet - it's not looking good so far

[steve_earwig]

Nah, they already decided what it looked like over on the coupe club:

Thats a strange colour that RCZ there. Are they going for a toned down version of the Micra C+C pink?

Also, just noticed as mentioned, the rear window does look like a bum between this and the previous Megane - horny french designers!!

Petrol: L4 1.6 @ 156bhp or same again but with 200(!)bhp

Diesel: 2.0 HDi FAP L4 with 161bhp and an annoyed Wellington boot.

6-speed manual with an option for 6-speed autobox on the smaller petrol.

Source: The font of all truth, natch

[Welly]

Annoyed at Diesel but forgiven slightly for the 161bhp

See what I mean about the trend for likkle petrols putting out big power? wouldn't fancy one of those with 100K miles on it

[teamster1975]

wouldn't fancy one of those with 100K miles on it

I don't think any car made today will last that long
