                    Hmmm... is that a convertable? I know the 306 is - I'm hoping to buy one in January when convertable prices in the UK plummet. I've been dreaming about it for about 2 years now. Hopefully my husbands dreams of an Audi A4 don't stand in the way... :-O

The convertible of the 206 is the 206cc and same for the 307, the 307cc (not out yet though.) The 206 is the smaller one of the two, but the styling is quite similar (though the 307 really fleshes, and improves, it out IMO.) I think the 306 was the predecessor to the 307 or 206, not sure, but still a lovely car. See them buzzing all over Cape Town, especially now during summer. Though ultimately I want a Peugeot 406 Coupe v6 3litre :-D For now though I am perfectly happy with my 1.3litre Toyota Tazz :) Perfect first time car.

Plus the running costs of an SUV are shocking. The only "SUV" that makes any sense is the Jeep Cherokee as it is damned good off road and reasonable on road. But still, they say something like only 2% of all SUV owners EVER take their SUVs off road. So whats the point? Too look good and gobble petrol/gas? :rolleyes: Damned yanks.

For the price of an X5 you can get two Land Rovers. So to me if you want to go off road but also go on road then get a Landy and get an M3, don't get an X5. Plus the running costs of an SUV are shocking. The only "SUV" that makes any sense is the Jeep Cherokee as it is damned good off road and reasonable on road. But still, they say something like only 2% of all SUV owners EVER take their SUVs off road. So whats the point? Too look good and gobble petrol/gas? :rolleyes: Damned yanks.

They go further: Check out the new Skoda Superb. This is an extremely cool car. I think you can find some info here: http://www.skoda-superb.cz/. Enjoy! Matthias

                                    Hmmm... is that a convertable? I know the 306 is - I'm hoping to buy one in January when convertable prices in the UK plummet. I've been dreaming about it for about 2 years now. Hopefully my husbands dreams of an Audi A4 don't stand in the way... :-O
