That's not a supermini....

That's a f*cking MPV.

Why does everything from France look like a VW Sharan these days?!

Infact, I apologise, it's not even France anymore... Look at all these cars, they're all MPVs..

New Mini
New Clio
207
307
308
New Ibiza
New Golf
DS3
107
C3
Megane..

All of them, STUPIDLY tall - when did everyone give up on "sleek lines" and just go for "bulbous and curvy"... I don't mind a curvier lady, but I'd still go for one who's slightly more slender and sleek... No? Or am I just a sexist pig?
i would own one.
110bhp and 70mpg job done!

Gotta be a good for a remap and a few mods :-)
The high bonnets are for pedestrian impact safety!

Safety and emmisions regs has ruined cars, I don't like that 208 at all personally but its too small for me tbh.
New cars are shite period!!!
I don't get the whole idea of the chrome and black wheels, Citroen seem to do it on all their cars now. If I wanted black and chrome wheels, I would go to Halfords.

If I was going to buy a new Peugeot (which i'm not) It would be an RCZ, even if they turn out to be rubbish they still look amazing!
Saw an rcz on the back of an aa truck on the way back from airport the other day!! it looked awsomezzz
Horrible, ugly car.

Too big, definitely too tall, and just not pretty in any way. Like almost every new, reasonably priced car.
These new cars try and change a bulb with out a sensor going on it. Then its a Mot fail all these fancy cars cost big bucks wen they go wrong.

To many sensors to many wires to many dash lights to many visits to the computer place who charge mega bucks. More Mot fails on sensors and dash lights showing. Also electrical problems you have a job to fix it with basic stuff.

There getting to fancy and all the mod cons in the car from you house in your car.

I just want a car which goes a to b. Cheap to run, cheap to fix, easy to fix, I can mod, change things. I dont want all the extra crap I dont need it and dont want it.

hmm I bet it did Smile. Was it pearlescent white? There's on in Peugeot dealership I'm always drooling over it. Can't wait for fcs so I can have a free passenger ride in one Smile.
I quite like the 208 TBH, Sits high but most new cars do nowadays..pedestrian safety plus I think the average joe/jane likes an elevated seating position. Love RCZ's though see afew about and they are handsome things!
RCZs are amazing. Look lovely nice interior. Only new pug I would buy.

Second hand 407 coupe, maybe 206 gti.

QFTFT.
Im with Jonny/Kezzie/Ruany

I cant remember the last new car to come out that I actually looked at thought, 'mmmm, that looks really cool!'

All cars now just look like a blob of metal which has been stuck in a wind tunnel and then has chrome thrown at it. Shit and gay and horrible and rank and gay.
Why does no one make cars that look like:

I'm not talking all time greats such as the E-Type, XJ220, 365 California etc... Just great looking cars that were mass produced that joe public could buy - no one makes these anymore.
Or

Another of my all time favourites.
There's a minty fresh 505 D-turbo down the road from me..keep meaning to put a cheeky offer in for it.

Here's a old looking square car, Buy it. £400 ono

Just looks far too much like all the new Corsas etc Sad
Have to say the 208 looks crap, Halfords wheels, chrome mirrors on anything other than a RS4 is a no no.

Although I think the escort Ruan posted up looks horrid (awaits flaming lol )
Well you can gtfo then!

Is it a DTurbo or a proper Turbo? If it's a turbo, it's stupidly retro cool and I want it.
