    I'm pretty skeptic about the sub-10s YouTube videos because I've driven the Altis and it doesn't feel like it can do it under 10 sec. Maybe 10-11 sec on a good launch.

    I also doubt that the CVT is faster than the MT, because you can launch the MT at 4,000 rpm for maximum torque (and lots of tire screech), while you're limited to what the computer will let you have on the CVT.

    Videos don't prove nothing.

    Those are hand-filmed videos translated to Youtube. There's no guarantee the video speed is the same, especially given that Youtube applies its own compression and correction factors.

    That's not to mention the fact that speedometers almost always lie. Stock speedometers are anything from 5-10 km/h off... sometimes even higher. And they're always slower than the actual road speed. They're designed that way.

    -

    I've tested the 1.6 CVT via a GPS-based RaceLogic V-Box with 10Hz accuracy (down to the nearest 1/10th second), and there's no way that's getting anywhere close to 9 seconds.

    -

    The 2.0 CVT can do it in about 9 seconds flat. With a lovely tire-screeching take-off.

    Unless the 1.6V can lay down ten-foot rubber stripes off the line... nope. Not going to happen. Good luck finding any video showing 1.6 CVTs doing burnouts on dry tarmac.

    Finally drove the 1.6 AT 301. Yeah... more toys than the diesel. Nicer inside. Very quiet. Very smooth.

    Still not sure I'd pay over a million for it, but the Peugeot guys say they actually sold out their first allotment... that's both diesel and gasoline.

    Personally, I'd still go for the diesel, but I can see why some people would consider buying the gasoline version.
