Not sure whether it's the same one.

An interesting comment......."the old Chrysler-born two-valve engines will be replaced by a brand-new engine family developed in cooperation with French manufacturer Citroën"

Citroën? I thought it was Peugeot?

That video has been posted before, the text and voice over are full of errors, notice that it's not even currently "chrysler born" or "two-valve". Typical case of got some good spy photo/video, someon make up something quick to stick with it, beef it out a bit...

Citroen / Peugeot / PSA is just one of those weird little factoids that rattles around in my head. I've got lots of 'em.

Doesn't everyone?

mr_cooper · Apr 18th, 2006, 03:29 AM

I wonder what the turbo charged engine will sound like when its powering up...I hope it has a nice sound...I cant wait to get my 2007cooper T (mark II )

Of course there will be an intercooler … it's a turbo. A turbo needs cold air and cooling, just like a SC, if not more so. Impreza WRX, Legacy GT.

Haha, well I was right in theory. Still doesn't explain why they kept the scoop though.

Another question, anyone know the relevance of these icons on the side?

Looks a Honda Civic on the top row, Dodge Viper next, VW Beetle and then some sort of MPV or summat? What's that all about?!

They're "kill stickers", like old fighter planes have to show what planes (or how many) they'd defeated in battle.

minigolf · Sep 2nd, 2006, 01:03 PM

Well, that's what I would have thought. It would be nice to hear the stories behind each "kill".

Paul · Sep 3rd, 2006, 03:32 PM

Would be wouldn't it.
