    I'm sure we forgot to ask about this:


    Ito ang pinaka-astig na Peugeot as of date. It's called RCZ.



    More Details: http://www.peugeot.com/en/products/cars/rcz.aspx

    Why didn't we mentioned this sports car earlier?

    Probably because:

    A. It's just a concept that only recently went into production (after only six months of being a concept).

    B. It has a snowball's chance in hell of actually being sold here.

    C. It's merely a rebody of the Peugeot 308. A stunning rebody, though. It's more like a competitor to the base-model Audi TTs and the VW Scirocco, but the initial engine plants are only a match for the base models.

    It will be a niche product here IMO. If Peugeot Philippines would release the twin turbo version of the 1.6 THP engine, now that's something.

    Very niche. Market positioning seems aimed straight at the Cooper S.

    Spoke too soon, did I? Funny thing, I get to drive it either this weekend or next January.

    Really, pleasant surprise that Peugeot is here. Even more pleasant that a familiar face is in the marketing department.

    Dong Magsajo. I think it's a good thing Peugeot Philippines pirated him from the Philippine Star and Top Gear Philippines because the guy knows how to market vehicles properly. Kaya napansin ko, nap aka aggressive ng marketing strategy ng Peugeot.
