Why did the 306 rallye not come with a red carpet? Just been out in a mates 106 ral ye and noticed how good his red carpet looked  also came in a 205 as well so why not carry it onto the 306  Anyone agree that they should have been available? ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Wouldnt that make the rallye an ideal car for them the as only 500 were made? ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

All cars hit the bottom of the value ski slope and people always think they will be worth nothing forever. I also reckon that a good 306 Rallye will be worth something in a few years time, and agree that in the last year or so it has developed a premium over an ordinary 6. I think red carpet would have been a great idea. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

But unfortunately a 306 rallye is in effect a povert spec GTi6 with some stickers.Had they done something special to it apart from just leave bits off it would be a different story. ________________________________________ |

not so, because there was no quicker S1 than a rallye, there was no GTI, the XSI was barely any higher spec.phase2 I get your point, but it really was a proper rallye homologation special following on from the S1 ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

As more and more 306's get broken or crashed etc, the price of ours will go up but it will take years yet. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Yes that is one point of view, and it is true it didn't have a specific engine or anything, and for a little extra effort they could have given it a little more power and some uber-lightweight wheels or something to make it more special. But if you are looking for the most focussed sporty 306, it is still the best - no sunroof to compromise body rigidity, fewer electric bits to fix as the car gets older, and it is lighter if only by the deletion if a few bits. And for those of us who are tall and would look silly in a 106 it is a good choice. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |
