The grapevine editorial in Autocar this week is talking about the SLK and the 206cc , discussing how other manufacturers are now jumping on the folding hardtop bandwagon .

Alfa (Spider), Vauxhall (Astra), Renault(Megane) are all planning hard top convertibles .
But it also states that Peugeot sold a staggering 78,820 206cc's in 2001 - WOW

Where are all those owners then ?

And why haven't I been "spotted" yet?

because when you look for something, it's always the last one you look at so I've only got 78,000 to go and THEN I'll spot ya

Most Pugs are probably at the dealers waiting for repairs

That's a little too cynical!

you would think after 78,000 cars , they would start getting it right .

Surely that must be 78,000 worldwide as opposed to 78,000 in the UK.

Maybe they go like hot cakes in the US or something?

Didn't see any in Canada, if fact I didn't see a Peugeot. I think most are in Manchester

Becoming more common -- I saw four on the way in to work this morning :eek:

Two that 'lightish blue/silver' colour
One silver
One red

What do people think of the red? I'm put off it because of resale (it's the only non-black, non-metallic colour, and hence looks a bit "poverty spec"). OTOH it looks like a nice colour, and would go well with the black/red interior.

The thing about black is that it tends to disguise the lines and shape of the car. But as it's going to be wifey's car I guess it's up to her (although I can imagine who's going to have to clean it :rolleyes: )
