I wonder if it is rear driven. Probably not since it has an improved drive shaft to minimize torque steer.

The "massive MPS photo gallery" only has 26 images in it. Where are the rest? ;o

I agree, that the frontdesign shows parallels to current Peugeot-styling. It smiles and it is nice. Not so agressive like the specs let exspect me. I'm interested how efficient the power fit the FWD
