    Thought about them. I quite fancy one, but I suspect they are a bit too
    trackday-orientated for a main car. Very hard suspension, no
    soundproofing, 6000 mile service intervals, etc.

    In isolation, they look good, but probably because we haven't had the
    normal Integra here for many years, there's something subliminally
    Max-Power about the styling; I think the image at the back of my mind is
    a ten year old Honda Concerto with a sink estate bodykit on it.

  4. Agreed, but a few years ago the guy in their design department who really
    knew his stuff concerning handling and suspension (Jean Baudin?) left and
    they haven't been the same since. It seemed as though top management
    didn't think it important any more, though I was told that there was a move
    afoot at the factory to rectify this. It seems to have worked as far as the
    handling of the 407 is concerned, though apparently the ride still leaves a
    lot to be desired. You didn't used to be able to say that about a Peugeot
    :-(

  5. Nick Drew raved thus:
    Walk. Did you HPI it? Maybe you can use the list as a bargaining tool to get
    the price down, and do the work yourself.

    Hi,
    Oh, even if I consider myself as a Pug ham, I don't know the engineers'
    names :)
    I've read several tests about the 407, and they said handling was great,
    this proving once again the expertness (spelling ?) of Peugeot about
    chassis. I have to say, that it seems to me that the 407 (codename D2) is
    the most important Peugeot's project since the 307 (codename T5). I
    described it on this newsgroup (as "the next big
    thing" some months ago. I still think it's true.
