Similarities between RCZ and 308

[Anonymous]

I am not so familiar with the Peugeot fleet, but I know there are some similarities between the 308 and the RCZ...
for example:
- the headlights
- the foglights
- the door-mirrors (???)
- the door-handles (???)

Are there more identical parts?

yep and most of the interior- and dash apart from the round clock.

Suspect a lot of the mechanicals will be the same.

some similarities, not much though: bonnet, lights, fog lights, bumper all have differences...it isn't exactly a copy of the 308

They both share the same floor pan!

The basics yes. Brakes, suspension, and a lot of other little bits are very different. Its a nice way to use a platform that already exists, saving passing the cost onto everyone who wants a RCZ

Yep it's worked well for the Peugeot/Citroen and the SEAT/VW/Audi groups for years, where the same platform can be reused for different market segments and the main difference being the visual styling.
