FW: Pug 207 GTi

AstraVanMan · 2005-11-24T13:02:28+00:00

Just got the below on the Auto Express mailout. One thing I don't get - wasn't the 206 GTi the natural successor to the 205 GTi? Surely even if some of the lesser models weren't *that* good, I thought the 206GTI-180 was supposed to be ok? No? Or just more marketing bollocks to get people to buy the latest model? Probably.This Week's Auto ExpressThis week the mag unveils the forthcoming Peugeot 207 GTi, the French company's natural successor to the brilliant Eighties' hot hatch, the 205 GTi. Set to be announced at the Paris Motor Show in 2006, the turbocharged 207 GTi will produce in excess of 180bhp to out-muscle the current crop of hot hatchbacks. Cost is expected to be £15,500. Also this week, TV expert Mike Brewer picks his fantasy motoring fleet, if money was no object - 14 pages of mould-breaking, emotion-stirring designs. On sale now.'s GTi blasts back!A legend is returning. For many performance fans, Peugeot has never produced a worthy successor to its brilliant Eighties' hot hatch, the 205 GTi. But as this week's magazine's pictures show, the new 207 GTi is set to be just that.Peter

It's a Peugeot, right? First, second, fourth and fifth are broken...?

I don't think i'd have to try particulary hard to escape that particular Elk - hell, i think Kermit could probably out run it...
