Reminds me of that crash test between the little Renault Modus and a Volvo 940, done by the Fifth Gear team:

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Citroen GT Edges Closer To Reveal In Drop-Dead Sexy Teaser Video]]> I still need to wait a complete week before going to the Paris show. Citroen's booth will be very interesting this year.

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Yo, Biodiesel Wannabes! Forget The Benz- Get This Peugeot 205 XRD!]]> For that price, you could get a cargo full of 205...

I don't think so. European people spending so much money will prefer to buy a german car.

@j6r: Andwhat about the 407 coupe?

@TurboBrick: You can get a used 406 with the 3L engine for less than 10000€ today. The successor of the 406 coupé is the 407coupé. But the next big one will be the 307RCZ. Check this out: [news-images.caradisiac.com]

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Hypermiling Couple Sets World Record With 90 MPG Drive Around Australian Coast]]> Those figures are better than Peugeot's official specifications!

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Gas Prices Reach $3.831 Per Gallon Average, Are You Traveling This Weekend?]]> Please face the reality: gas is cheap in the US. In France, I'm paying 1,5€ per liter of unleaded 98, this makes nearly 9$ per gallon...

However, with my Renault Megane 2004 4Cylinder 2.0L Turbo engine of 165HP, I reach about 600km with 50L (375 miles for 13,2 gallons), so that makes about 0.125 euro for one kilometer (0.32 US$ for one mile).
If I had the Diesel version, that number would fall to 0.08 euro per kilometer.

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Gas Is $5.40 Per Gallon On The Cali Coast, We Cry]]> In Europe, prices are very variable: we generally pay 1.4€ per liter in france for unleaded 95, and during my holidays last week, I paid 1.15€ in Luxembourg and 1.56€ in Holland!

Not many MI16 but a lot of Turbo-Diesel with dark smoke coming out of their exhausts... However, the MI16 engine makes a perfect replacement engine for any rusty 205 to hoon around!!!

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Even With 11 Tons Of Rover Parts Gone, Plenty Left In This Junkyard]]> @Joest: I counted 4 DS on the first picture. An Ami8 Wagon like the car my dad had when I was born...
Extraordinary: I didn't know such junkyard here in France...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on 1976 Peugeot 504 Wonders How It Came To This]]> @THE POLAЯ ABIDES:
?? That seems to be an automatic translation. Please choose another translator, this one is not so good.

By the way, the Peugeot 504 were always known as being reliable here in France. May be its the automatic transmission and the double lens of the front lights that has such negative effect on the car...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Were The 80s More Fun In A Renault 5?]]> The Alpine Turbo models were also very interesting versions with the Garret T3 turbocharged 1.4L engine giving 110hp on the (very nice looking alloy) front wheels. Competition with the first series of Golf GTi was very tough at this time...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> ... and the new Rodius will win the contest for the ugliest car of the year once again (was it last year or the year before?). Even if they improve it by 50% it may still win!!! This car is a record breaker...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on You Can Bring Your Crumpled Citroens To Hanzel's]]> @Euromobile: Prices are rising also in France for these cars. Just take a look at [[www.motorlegend.com]] for prices in €!

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on Garmin Superbowl Ad Pokes Fun at Short French Emperor]]> @djardins: Absolutely!

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on PCH, Force de Frappe Edition: Simca 1000 GLS or Two Citroen SMs?]]> Even if the Simca would have been a decent version (like a Simca Rally 2 or Rally 3 [cars-and-races-of-past.skynetblogs.be]), it has no chance in front of 2 SMs.

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on So You Want To Buy A Citroen SM...]]> @paul_y: Except that US cars have V8s while french cars generally have only powerless 4 cylinders...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on So You Want To Buy A Citroen SM...]]> Really, I don't understand why people here are so creazy about french cars. I'm french and living in France, and I'm crazy about US cars... and people around me don't understand why ;-)
However I have to admit that the SM is definitely a great car. Like many others: Alpine A110, 2CV, Mehari, Matra Rancho, Bagheera, Simca Rally 2, Renault 5 Turbo, ...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on 2009 Chevy Camaro front End Revealed!]]> Chevy, please send them to Europe at reasonnable prices, not the 50K€ needed to get a Mustang GT through pseudo un-official imports.
I'll go for an orange one with white stripes. I will remove myself these ugly double front lights and put a single (bigger) one, like the original version...

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on 1988 Renault Medallion]]> In these years, the 4cyl 2Liter Turbo version, also available with "Quadra" 4 wheel drive, was a high performance car.

]]> <![CDATA[Meg2.0T commented on 1969 Simca 1204 Factory Rally Car]]> Surprisingly, in France, the name of thiscar was Simca 1100 (complete history here [www.allpar.com] and some other interesting info here : [www.simca1100.org] in french). The 1200 was a nice coupé designed by Bertone some years before the 1100 in the early 60s and based on the Simca 1000 platform, and the 1204 did not exist on this side of the Atlantic...
