I wouldnt say the Pug 106 is retro to be honest.

But don't forget that the earliest 106's are 14 years old now. If not properly retro, then certainly retro-in-waiting. They have all the right ingredients...speed, amazing handling, easily tweaked etc... it's only a matter of time. Certainly there are alot of chavved up ones about, but then again 10 years ago there were tacky 205gti's everywhere - and they're bona-fide retro now. PS. That one looks cracking on those rims. So much better than cheap and nasty 18inch charver rims.  |

Apparently they're great little cars if they're tuned well, and the older ones can't be far off retro, although that one's a little new for my liking, but it's still nice!  Saying that though, there are a few modern cars that are very like the retro versions that were in production years before, I mean we have a very late Volvo 940 saloon at the moment, 1996, one of the last, which I still consider a little retro since it's very like the 80s rear drive models, since the 9 series was really a progression of the 7 series, and it's totally unlike Volvos modern range, which are front wheel drive and bear almost no resemblance. Cars like Lada Rivas as well, which are still made, and could be found new in this country until the mid 90s I think, yet are very much retro. |

106's are a hoot, mine is one of the first, on a J. The XSi, 'lux' version of the rallye.
They will be retro soon, trust me!

Nice wheels! But the 106? Retro? It's about as retro as the toast I had this morning.... Not saying that they won't ever be retro, they will be - and the sporty versions will be sought after especially. But right now I just look at them as euro-box chav fodder. I've driven a few that have 30 or 40k on the clock and they're falling to bits... I'm sure looked-after ones hold together better. Mind you, if a lot of them DO fall apart it'll just add to their rarity value in the future!  |
