![]() Today's car of the day is CM's 1985 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures on the real car, please visit: Peugeot 205 ![]() ![]() I hope everyone likes rally cars. If not, fair warning. What we have here is a theme week. Having recently purchased a large lot of CM's rally cars, I thought it would be fitting to feature a full week of them (read: I'm lazy and a theme week is easy). But with as nice as CM's are, hopefully you won't mind. This car won a WRC victory in the 1985 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland, driven by Timo Salonen and Seppo Harjanne. ![]() ![]()

A Pug! Great looking rally car. The CM's rally cars are awesome. So nicely detailed and the little antenna on the top is a nice detail addition.

I don't know what it is...I *hate* econoboxes. Seriously. Can't stand. But slap rallye stickers on them and I love them! What can I say? |

Back in the "Good Old Days", before Speed Channel was sold to become just another generic sports channel, I used to love watching International Rally. But Speed Channel is long gone and with it any chance of being able to watch Rallying with any regularity. This Peugeot has me remembering what it was like "Way Back When".

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I'm not sure what I'm looking at on the lower body....airflow dams or mudflaps??? The casting looks very good, but if it were all white it would be just another econobox which are the most uninspiring cars I could think of, and plenty of them were designed on the back of a cocktail napkin. A grade school kid could design better. That said, I like this casting very much because of the scheme used. |

There is a difference between econobox and hatchback. I also hate econoboxes. But I love hatchbacks, particularly hot hatches. The difference being are they driver and design oriented or are they built for cost cutting with comfort and performance bearing no weight in it's design. Ford Fiesta, no thanks. Ford Focus, yes please. VW Polo, no thanks. VW GTI, most definitely yes please. Uninspiring design can be found in any body shape and great design can equally be found in any body shape. Think hatchbacks are boring or uninspiring? The Lancia Delta Integrale would beg to differ:![]() Yes, it is a box. Yes, it is angular and not curvy. But it is one of the most perfectly tailored designs in existence. |

I'm not sure where you're looking, but both depending. I'm guessing you mean the front bumper, which is some sort of spoiler or aero bit of some sort, plus the trucker sized mud flaps behind all four wheels. |
