Peugeot makes 206s, but they are only FWD. So there's no way you can get an AWD version. I like how Subaru and Mitsubishi release their cars which are similiar to their rally versions.
Mitsubishi is planning on using their colt as their next WRC car. Which looks very similiar to the 206.

Ford = Focus, Peugeot = 206, now Mitsu = colt. Looks like everybody is migrating to a lighter 2 door hatchback with as short a wheelbase as possible. I wonder what Subaru will do. I want them to be successful but I hope they can do it without playing follow the leader.

Anyways, about the 206. That is an incredible piece of work! I personally don't like the 2dr hatchback styles, I prefer the more traditional looks of the WRX and Evo. However, I can greatly respect the amount of time, effort, and money you've put into your vehicle! Is it street legal or for competition use only?

Do they sell the FF 206 (130bhp right?) in Canada? We dont' get one here. I guess the Focus we get is pretty similar as far as performace, but an AWD Focus or 206 would be sweet. I personally like the hatchbacks, but I would be sad to see the Evo or the Impreza leave the WRC.

by the way, 206's are sick and i hope someone would take one, make it AWD some how and turbo the hell out of it....that would make a great project...
btw, dont have a hatred for french, they did the right thing, we should have waited to NATO approval, by not waiting, we alienated ourselves. but i dont want to get political.
