RCZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...Falls asleep.
Well said!DKZ5745 said:I just keep imagining a line up of all the Current Peugeot models, put the 270 bhp version of the 308 GT in there and the 156 RCZ, and I reckon at least 7 out of every 10 people would go for the Z every time.
Sorry, I still can't believe they're dropping the Z.
This 308 is a "hot hatch" in a world of hot hatches, and not exactly the most desirable of the bunch.
The only thing close to the Z is the TT, and this is arguably not as innovative as the Z, and is generally more expensive like for like, making the Z the best option of that small bunch.
I understand the financial reasons behind the decision, but long term, I'm not sure that it is the correct one for the brand.
There will be those who are loyal to Peugeot who have probably been waiting for this exact car to emerge, and I'm happy for them. Personally, I think Pug could have done a lot more with this, so I won't be test driving one anytime soon. But that's just me :eusa-think:

Hence why they should have built the Hybrid 308 instead of this ''nothing to offer GTi''... Completely wrong move by Peugeot!mrizzle said:It's a strange move to cut the RCZ from your lineup in order to build an even more niche vehicle. I would bet good money that this will sell far less units than the RCZ did!
The RCZ was uniquely placed in the market place and offered the only real competition to the TT and for less money. The 308 GTI models entered a crowded marketplace and comes without anything new to offer. It has no real pedigree in this class (although I acknowledge that it didn't have any in the arena of sports coupe either) and I cannot see who will buy this car.
Peugeot, I think you've made a mistake here.
