Peugeot RCZ - yikes

[fatboy b]

Just seen on of these things. What an ugly SOB....

[pilchardthecat]

Yup. There was one parked near my house the other day and it looked a right mess, not only because the Pug 'corporate grille' is hideous. It will date badly IMO.

And it's wrong wheel drivel.

Just seems to have been randomly sliced by a knife everywhere.

I like the double bubble roof

Remember when Peugeot made good looking cars? 205,306,etc.

GTFO.

They were good cars; not good-looking cars.

Sort the front end out and I reckon it wouldn't look to bad.

They just need to make a 'Rallye' version that's stripped out and has a full fat engine and it would probably be great.

Thank you. Some sanity at last. I really don't understand why so many people think this is a good looking car, its a mess. They've taken the basic form of a TT then applied Peugeot 'styling' (I use the term very advisedly) cues with a big paintbrush and a hammer. Horribly crass. The roof is the worst bit IMO. Zagato double bubble rooves are always barely noticeable and subtle but this just screams "Looking at me, I'm styled and different". Hateful.

Rear end of a TT, roofline (in profile) of a Z, nose of... possibly some kinda of deep-sea creature?

[lowdrag]

Am I wrong (that invites response to start with - lol) but does it seem to you like someone has taken an Audi TT and started to crush it lengthwise? The pent roof, the bodywork rise behind the door, etc. No, I'm not a fan.

i seen one and it looked a lot bigger than i expected it to.

Didnt have that 'nimble' look of the latest TT.

[MarJay]

It would probably look good if they ditched that god-awful corporate nose.

It's better looking and a bit more interesting than an A5, that's for sure.

[DennisTheMenace]

Saw quite a few pf these in France , i like it , still not as pretty as a 504 coupe though , at least it has style something the Audi Titty is devoid of .

[Danny S]

Anyone know what engines/weight these have?

Had a sprint with one today and faired surprisingly well in the wee corsa!

I've yet to see a TT (or indeed any modern VAG product) which looks 'nimble'.

It's for those hairdressers whom are not allowed to get into enough debt to stretch to a TT diesel. Very popular in that demographic I hear.

Not terrible from the looks point of view, but not for me.

[lotusmad2001]

are you guys kidding, i may get laughed at here, but that car is gorgeous in the right colour!

[vincec79]

Pass a Peugeot garage every morning and they've got 2 of these, one grey demo car and a red one in the showroom. The grey ones front end just makes it look like every other pug in the range, just doesn't look anything special. The red one in the showroom looks bit better though and its got some lary wheels on, though their just a bit halfords special.

Nimble as in a supertanker is 'nimble'?
