@Tool, I only see the diesel thing as being a factory backed effort.for a non-factory effort it prohibitively expensive,IMO. Advantage? Turbo sucking through a straw, fuel milage.
Think about this, how much compression braking with a manual transmission does a diesel have? Why did the Mini's have water cooled rear brake calipers?

I like the idea of a diesel 2wd. I dont know what advantages having a diesel in the 2wd the rules allow. Perhaps WJM or MK or someone well versed in the rules can comment here. I have another friendly chat going in the pic of the rear with someone as to how well the Pug is going to perform at least handling wise. And my answer to that is, at least they are running BFG's marked over to say Michelin on them, but Im guessing there have been a pug or two on its lid a few times during testing. I dont see the chassis package working out too well for them. Just my .02

The Pug is a turbo diesel, so it's not a large displacement gasoline V-8

You are all right about your arguments. For me Robby Europeanized his vehicle to a rather European race in its concept and plot. The Hummer was a Baja vehicle arranged as vehicle for the Dakar. Gordini is now more compact. To return to Peugeot we can say they were copied Robby and made the Peugeot sauce, but it is a two-wheel drive with displacement and power ... As the Hummer/Gordini..

I do like the clean look of the new nose.

Thanks TOG, the Gordini is so sleek and the fit and finish refined it make the Hummer look almost "cobbled" together, I realize it's not but side by side one is military looking and the other is a sports car on 'Roids. Agree with MK really like the changes, it's now cut the cord and is all it's own!
