    Remember The Peugeot 406?

    The mildly quick Pininfarina styled coupe?, Well I do, much like the calibra and the ford probe this was one of the cars I saw every day on the roads as a kid that actually looked like it was quick....

    It appears Peugot have decided that it needs a big brother -







    http://www.channel4.com/4car/road-te...t/907/907.html

    tbh in the last 5 minutes that car has made more of an impression on me than the bug eyed Ferrari Scaglietti has or will ever. If I had 100k to spend on a big GT car and aston martin didn't exist......

    yeah the 407 coupe is such a waste of good pedagree imo.. doesnt follow the 406 coupe (which imo looks as good as a ferrari) at all

    as for that gt car.. its nice, but would you spend that much money on a french car?

    I count 10, and if there what they should be then they'd be sucking not blowing...

    Hardly likely to be trumpets tho so

    They drove it in Autocar a few weeks back, said it was an immense machine, but the test driver braked hard and the whole thing just spun round and round (he was braking in a straight line). I din't think it is going into production anytime soon...

    What will make you laugh is that the onboard computer runs Windows Embedded and every time the engine stalls the computer errors out and BSODs

    Then you have to wait for it to reboot before you can go again....

    LOL

    Good one Bill
