Pug RCZ

My neighbour just bought one of these

I was amazed at the starting price, £20k for something that actually looks really nice. Just need to drop a decent V8 in there!!

Oh man that thing is ugly

You think?

I quite like it, I think it looks better in the flesh/metal than in photos.

Not bad for a girl, your neighbour is a girl right?

French Audi TT innit?

Are they still making their gearboxes out of cardboard and hope though?

Seen a couple, still unsure and think they'll be a bit marmite.

Then again when the ford focus came out I thought I'd rather stare at a dogs arse all day but they're growing on me, the ST is quite nice now.

I can only see a box with a red x in it

Edit: Can see it now.

look closer...

the forum I took it from didnt like deep linking so I had to save it then upload it and link.

I think it's a car that needs to be seen in the flesh. That rear end looks a bit dodgy though.

Not a bad effort imo as they stuck very closely to their prototype. Would need bigger brakes and a tubby to make it look more appealing! I like their configurator though. A lot of effort has gone into it

Having seen that picture I have to admit I wasn't quite right in my appraisal.

I should have put French Audi TT with dodgy electrics.

exactly whati thought when i first saw one

My brother is obsessed with it and about to put a deposit on it. Quite a long waiting list for it and it's a limited production run.

And it's a turbo too so no doubt upgrades will come shortly.

It is beautiful in the flesh has to be said.

I think it looks great. Bravo Peugeot for building something so unusual.

I loved these in the early advertisements, but was gutted to read the engine and performance options. I was thinking at the time they'd produced one of the nicest looking cars on the road but at that price level, no matter what engine they put in it you know its not going to be as good a real performance car (engineering on suspension, chassis, braking etc).

Then I saw one in the flesh and it didn't deliver on looks either, so they get points for trying but thats it.

It's not that good I imagine. At least it will keep the AA/RAC busy....

H.

Cross between an Audi TT and VW Karmann Ghia of the 60's?

A bit of a hairdressers car in my opinion.

I've never really understood that phrase. Does it's for posers who like cars that look nice but don't care about the performance/speed?

Around my way, I believe the phrase means (roughly translated) "Its a car better suited for women or male hairdressers..."

It may mean something else in other parts.
