    Peugeot RCZ

    Just got back from visiting the in laws in Spain and while I was there I saw a couple of Peugeot RCZ's. The more I looked at them the more it seems to fit the body template for the 818. And, the more I looked at them the more the styling grew on me even with large headlights. Because the RCZ is taller the headlights are pushed farther back with a shorter overhang. If the finished 818 looks as refined as the RZR FFR should be onto a real winner. And it has a great looking targa top already hint hint.....

    Too Eclipse'ish for me. Maybe if they pushed the doors out semi-even with the fender blisters with maybe just a hint of the WRX's shoulders. I do like how far forward the cab seems to be.

    This is my number one concern with the final design of the 818. I'm hoping it isn't too "Eclipse'ish".

    Somehow I don't think that the 818's body will be as complex as that.

    Trust me when I say this car is beautiful in every regard, an Eclipse it is not.

    Yes it's hard to believe Peugeot built it.

    its the poor fenders that scream Eclipse even though I'm sure the RCZ is a much different car than the Eclipse.

    I didnt think the 818 would be as much of a cab-forward design as the RCZ, maybe since the 818 is so short in overall length
