RE: Peugeot facelifts RCZ...

[NGK210]

Seems absolutely perfect... for estate agents, party planners et les coiffeurs - and dorks who own roof slate-sized smartphones

[Paul O]

That looks great!! Interior looks cheap though.

[Garlick]

I really like the looks of the RCZ, even the current one.

When they become cheap enough on the used market I'll have one for the Mrs (using that as an excuse and then I'll drive it too).

[LuS1fer]

I like the RCZ but this facelift turns it into a really bland looking front end and detracts from the good points it once enjoyed. As said, the slack-jawed dribbling mutant look is not attractive.

[The Obeast]

the original is a much better looking car, this facelift makes it look like a constipated snake.

I need a reference picture of said snake to be sure....?

[aka_kerrly]

The Peugeot corporate front end which is shared across the range is simply hideous.

Whoever thought the big wide mouth look was a good idea and who thought that by adding braces to the big mouth would improve it needs to be shot/replaced if Pug are going to stand any chance of making something that interests me.

[exocet ape]

Just far too much gaping japanese cartoon character in it for me. Grills too big and huge headlight clusters...

My very poor use of paint.


Someone with skills and a decent package might do a better job...

but it's still the Aldi TT

that joke has aged well

it really does not look like it at all, not in the metal anyway.
maybe it drives like one and i have misunderstood that joke all along.

Drove on the the MSV RCZs at Brands and was quite impressed by it... I don't know what they did to it mind; put it this way I wasn't overtaken once and went past far more powerful machinery (and I am not a driving god! {but did lap the other RCZ })

[maxdb]

I like it - the only downsides is:

1. Not rear wheel drive
2. It's a Peugeot

[eliotrw]

I actually really like this. Think its a massive improvement.

[Funk]

Yep, massive improvement. I'd have one with no complaints at all.

Always love reading the postings of the car Some will be genuine opinions, but lot seem to be "it's a Peugeot, it's crap " even if they've never driven it.

How about posting pictures of the RCZ R concept PH? Sure it probably won't look quite the same, but it sure looks striking

Completely agree on the current exhaust, the EU killed the setup from the concept but but Peugeot do offer a quad conversion setup which improves the look:

It doesn't matter which way you cut it, it's still a complete and utter rip off the Audi TT.
No thank you. Not for me.

It's better than the first one but still miles from being a good looking car.

Incredible how we all see things so differently isn't it. Whenever I see one on the road, I'm amazed at just how good looking they actually are.

I totally agree - the face lift looks even more fantastic. The bubble roof, alloy side rails, the whole shape. It makes the TT look very dull and boring.

I do not agree with him but I can see exactly where he is coming from.

No need for condescension

[threespires]

I think the facelift looks good, much more attractive than the VW Caddy coupe
