The Lion is sharpening its claws. Peugeot had a big year in 2009, introducing a redesigned badge, creating a new styling direction and taking victory in the world-famous Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race. And 2010 sees the launch of its most exciting car in years...
The new RCZ coupé is designed to inject some passion into the brand and re-establish its sporty credentials. Available to order now, the sleek two-door offers a choice of petrol and diesel engines, all at a competitive price for the class.
The Audi TT is our current Coupé of the Year, and the styling similarities of the RCZ are obvious – so the German car was first aboard the ferry to the Peugeot’s European launch in northern Spain. When the original TT arrived in 1998, its radical shape redefined the sector, and the second-generation model still sets the benchmark. With superb quality and a great driving experience, it’s easy to see why the Audi is our favourite.
Completing our trio is the Volkswagen Scirocco. It blurs the lines between coupé and hatchback bodystyles. But however you judge the VW, it looks the part. It’s also good value, great to drive and wears a desirable badge.
So, does the stunning new Lion roar to victory in this test, or go out with a whimper?
