Upcoming Cars: Peugeot 207 CC and RC




I don't like this car - I don't like its looks, I don't like the image, I don't even buy into the concept of a small FWD Coupe-Cabriolet no more than I bought into the original concept of a small hatch-based cabriolet. But this car must be commended for its unashamed pursue of its key customers: young, trendy women. Hairdresser's car? Peugeot doesn't care, these will still sell by the bucket-load.


The RS is altogether a different proposal, aimed mainly at the male customer base. Peugeot has done well to inject some sense of purpose to its babies feminine curves, but it's still can't match the testosterone-pumped RenualtSport Clio 197 or the Mini Cooper S's cool. It looks more luxo-pocket rocket and I'm afraid it might also drive like one
