I think it’s kind of cute. I’d take it if someone gave it to me. ---

I dunno. The roof styling is a bit unusual, but i really like the look of the car overall. Like you, i immediately thought of the TT when i saw the styling. ---

I like the bump, reminiscent of the FD series RX7’s and the Gurney bump styles. ---

I think that’s a pretty nice looking car. Wonder if they’re selling it in the US… ---

> [@winterhawk11](#): > > I think that’s a pretty nice looking car. Wonder if they’re selling it in the US… Peugeot are not sold in the US but you could privately import one if you have a huge bucket-o-cash. It’s not cheap but it’s doable. Peugeots have miserable reliability ratings though. ---

I might not have pictured it as a butt crack if you hadn’t mentioned it but now I am totally picturing it in a thong. ---

**Mange** , have you taken a Rorschach test lately? What percentage looked like bum to you? Because I must say arse crack is not what I thought of when I saw that picture. ---

> [@Wile\_E](#): > > I might not have pictured it as a butt crack if you hadn’t mentioned it but now I am totally picturing it in a thong. My first thought was a sorta reverse car bra (you know, those black fabric stone chip protectors on the front of some sports cars) but make up to look like a pair of tighty whities. But I like your suggestion better. ---

What was the design brief? “We want something a bit like the Audi TT, but with a huge bum on the roof” I’ll bet the stress pattern in that back window is weird. One good, solid bump, and I’d bet it has a tendency to crack. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-would-want-a-car-with-an-arse-crack-on-the-roof/539106.md?page=2)
