Looks alot like 350Z. And how aerodynamically efficient is this thing? Curves aplenty! Huge grille and big bulge around the car logo on bonnet. Too much style, don't think it'll make a good sports car at all. Like they say, fo' sho' lah. Exactly what I thought. Looks alot like 350Z.

Most of the designs look like carried over from the TT itsefl! The overall exterior design look either TT Mk1 or 350Z.. The two round meter and a center info panel look audish to me. Not to forget the very similar look of the center dash too. Seats looks bulky but comfy and worse of all, how does the mundane looking like steering wheel fits into the modern dash there? Someone decided to take a nap while designing the interior? The steering wheel looks so lazy and not modern looking at all. Aiyoh..what happened to them? Peugeot have lost their imagination here.

This car is beautiful!!! If they price it cheap enough, I'm sure they'll sell loads of them. Now, if they keep close to the concept, I'm sure it won't be cheap so the question is, how much of a premium can it be to still sell well? Are consumers willing to pay 20% above the Cooper S for this? Cooper is an icon and a keeper in anybody's garage. I think I'll go Cooper. Wow! This car is beautiful!!!
