[Nice Try Good Bye!!]

For those of us who still hanker over the old 205 GTi the 206 Gti doesnt hit the mark. But then it wasnt supposed to. And anyway the new 205 GTi is already here. It just happens to be built by Renault.

206 Gti 180 V Clio Cup

Toyota actually...

 

[paddymph]

eh Rich? Explain.....

 

[Ben H]

Variable Valve Timing I believe...as used by Honda and Rover (1.8 MGF K-series) in the early days.

 

[Rich-D]

Peugeot got Toyota in to help with VVT technology as its a new thing for them and in return, Peugeot helped Toyota out with diesel technology.

Just coincidence that its similar to the 172 engine...

 

[BenR]

sheesh, mark, they are just shiney....chrome.....lol..

Rich....we all know where the Japs get their ideas from though...lol

Look at the actuator....near identicle! as for technology.....there is basically none in there!!! almost certain to be a single step advance!

please note touch of sarcasm, but you cant says its coencidence.........
