Default Honda Hatchbacks similar to WRC winners Peugeot 206?

I watch WRC a lot. I think it makes nascar look like a bunch of kids with soapboxes.

I've noticed the peugeot 206 look A LOT like some Honda Civics. Anybody agree?



Also, the new WRC video:

Sweet video, Europe has always had its thing for hot hatches, it is understandable why they would all look similiar.

Hehe, when I went to Malaysia to Visit my dad, he showed me around town and the local spot where all the "racers" hang out. Dayum, there was a seemingly endless line of 206's, Lancer Evolutions and Ducati 996's (well only about 4 Ducatis). I loved it.

Woa! NASCAR <U>ISN'T</U> a bunch of kids with soapboxes??

j/k.....WRC is awesome. The best is forest trails in Wales, in the cold, gray rain......

Aren't the 206's running a custom AWD system like the Tiburons?

Hatches rule... damn I've got the hatch fever again. I miss my old EF Si hatches... the coupe's just not the same.

Good to see there's fellow WRC rallye fans here. It's got to be the best form of automotive racing around.

By comparison, it seems so. Nascar cancels races for rain. This year in Sweeden, the teams were pissed that it wasn't snowing harder.

Aren't the 206's running a custom AWD system like the Tiburons?
Basically all WRC's have custom AWD systems. Subaru has Prodrive components, but everybody else runs Gertrag sequential transmissions. Some kind of front and rear diffs with a hybrid limited slip mechanism (but they are pretty secretive about this).

Ya, I love the peugeot, but in street trim that thing is a hella dog. only like 106 hp or something. honda designed the new civic in england, that is why it looks like every other hatch coming out the europe. I think they look sweet.

Nascar is just a bunch of drunks playing out childhood dreams of going really really fast around an oval.

honda did it in 92....so ahead of their time with the 5th gen hatch, it still looks like a new design
