Peugeot UK will soon offer the British customers a souped-up version of its new diesel-powered 407 Coupe model. Called Peugeot 407 Coupe Bellagio, the vehicle is equipped with a clean and powerful 2.0-liter 136 hp HDi engine and is loaded with standard features that usually come as rather expensive options on other models.
The car, par example, is equipped with a RT4 Multi Media System with navi and a set of European maps, TMC audible GSM phone (with inbuilt voice activated hands free controls) and a 30GB HDD which is supposed to store your maps and those precious mp3 files the guys from RIAA do hate so much.
The sporty vehicle also comes with a set of 18-inch Galaxy alloy wheels and twin chromed exhaust pipes.
With all the amenities included, the Bellagio's price of £21,995 looks rather reasonable. It could have been lower, though.

Rumors of a return to the States still circulate.
By Matt DeLorenzo, Road & Track
Although Peugeot left the American market well over a decade ago, rumors of a return to the States still circulate. If the French automaker decided to return, it couldn't have a better offering than a production version of this 308 RC Z concept. Based on the 308 3-door hatch, this Audi TT fighter is powered by a 218-bhp 1.6-liter four with a twin-scroll turbocharger. Equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, Peugeot estimates 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration of about 7.0 seconds. The coupe, which looks like a cross between a TT and the Audi Avus concept, relies heavily on aluminum construction to pare curb weight to approximately 2800 lb. Like any good show car, it rides on huge wheels and tires, in this case 19-in. alloys fitted with Michel Pilot Sport rubber.
