Default New Pug RC Z

Not quite sure how a Pug is expected to steal the TT customers away - I'm pretty sure they buy the TT for the badge as much as anything else.

I'm not sure - I like the odd rear window, thats unique but..




It's one of those back-to-front cars isnt it

<edit> I reckon thats why they have made the side rear windows so small so it doesnt look symetrical back to front... </edit>

Looks like my old Mugen hardtop

Not liking that.

Pug should stick to making shit cars.

On the subject of Pug, I was thinking of the last time I saw a 205 GTi.

Now those were

There is too much styling for my liking, not that I'm much of a fan of Peugeot tbh. I don't doubt they'll sell like hot cakes though despite Peugeot's record of poor build quality.

Women will buy them, and middle aged blokes who will think they are "cool" and "sporty"

I can picture them now.

A bloke at work recently bought one of those 206 convertable things. I couldn't look him in the eye again. You can't be respected by fellow engineers if you own a French car

There was a big FS post which I put up - I was very surprised you didn't put in an offer for it Rog!

I would have PM'd you but I would have had to PM about 10 others who expressed interest

Ugly.

Will the domed rear window actually make production?

It has a Jap engine - and the rest is British design.
