    I like it a lot better than the TT. I'm not a huge fan of the difficult for-the-sake-of-difficult rear glass, but the rest of it looks great. Of course they aren't bringing them to the US, but they're French, so couldn't we just go take a few while wielding a sharpened stick?

    Sweet car. Peugot really makes some nice cars - that we'll never see. Too bad the radio only gets europop.

    Its an interesting Mix... It has a Mazda Grill (which coincidentally is the Peugeot nose as well) with a mix of Eclipse fenders and the Taillights from a Pontiac G6. The brushed aluminum on the roof also reminds me of the Eos as well. At this point I would normally make fun of Peugeot and accuse them of taking a page from the Chinese Auto industry and just copy Paste, but I actually kinda like it. I wouldn't own one, I just like it.

    Also for skinny tie loving Frenchies.

    I don't see too much Eclipse there, but I'd be perfectly happy if Peugot stuck to rally homologations.

    Edit: Punctuation.

    @Ben Wojdyla: My eyes! Take it down, take it down.

    There's definitely a resemblance with the bubbyness. I'd like to say what made me think them dissimilar is the Eclipse is bubbly-wedge while the RCZ and TT keep a more rectangular profile with rounded corners. But it's probably just the dynamic lighting that sets it apart for me.

    I'm guessing it will not deliver 251 lb.ft while returning 43MPG. Those two numbers are probably at the opposite ends of the performance versus fuel consumption graph.

    Now how long will it be before someone puts and actual radio control in this RC car? (I'm looking at you, Top Gear.)

    @dwegmull welcomes all the ghosts:
    That much is obvious. What is interesting to me, is that it is going to be a turbodiesel with a six speed manual. You know, the kind of car that some say no one buys...
