Struck me as the offspring of a Porsche Cayman and an Audi TT. I suppose it could have been via butt sex. Hmmm… is that how you measure its time from 0 to 60, in butt secs?

And I bet the replacement glass isn’t cheap.

How about [now](http://www.peugeotpic.com/peugeot/car/pictures/2010/03/2007-peugeot-308-rcz-concept-top-1280x960.jpg)?

Maybe it’s not an arse crack - maybe just cameltoe.

Surprise butt secs!  
Yeah, I’d go with camel toe. Heh… “Introucing the 2010 Peugeot Camelteaux”

The most serious practical drawback I see the potential for is that in the event of a heavy rainstorm a substantial percentage of roof runoff will be funneled to the middle of the glass, thus creating a blurry obstruction for rearview mirror operation.

Best in class.

To me it looks like it’s turning into the Batmobile.

I’d feel funny washing the car, wiping the butt part…

Yes, it is clearly built to mate with another, taller vehicle. Perhaps a [cement truck like this](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3470/3764786542_7bf747ee71.jpg). Both vehicles would would be turned away from each other, out of necessity and of shame.

It looks like somebody dropped something heavy on the roof?  
What was the stylist thinking? Does he want the car to look like it was dented? :smack:

That just makes it look like a poorly-designed computer mouse.

Nope…not seeing the butt thing. It looks more to me like they said “We want something a bit like the Audi TT, but with more ‘I’ in the middle”
