Lol, the tail lights reminds of of the 350z.

So I did some googling and found out that the RCZ is suppose to be a competitor for the TT and scirocco. I like the scirocco's styling better though xD It's a shame we don't have it here in North America

The e-brake sure does come up at a weird angle! Saw one of these rolling around in my town right before I left the UK. All I could think was how much it would cost to get that rear glass replaced if some punk decided to break it out to steal something, or just out of spite!

I considered both cars, dont really like the super wide end on the scirocco, and audi tt's are too common, or when you want the power version (tts or so), too expensive.

Peugeot makes great cars. I drove one of the past models (forgot what the name is, but it's a sedan), I can say it's comparable to some high end German cars.

Yes its FWD, 1.6 turbo engine with 6speed gearbox, 156 or 200hp.

There is also a 2.0 diesel with 163hp. (and the 156 or 163 have optional 6 speed auto gearbox)

Navi, do you have pictures of your 4AGTE setup? I didn't really see any on your link - I'd be interested to know what type of setup you had.

Congrats on the buy, that is a very cool looking car. You guys talking about peugeots, sciroccos, it reminds me how America get's jipped out of so many great cars. That interior is leagues better than what the GT offers, looks very nice.
