But anybody who thinks their quality is anything but horrific is more misinformed than George W Bush himself. Every car blog from China to the UK is filled with poor reliability and bad engineering ratings for their cars. The 307 being among the worst. Best to just enjoy their looks from afar. Skoda would be a much addition to the US list of European imports than Peugeot ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gary Lowe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2008 9:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</guid><description><![CDATA[VW of America would never want the corporate parent to allow Skoda or SEAT to come to the US.

While I would prefer a more original design or typically Peugeot-inspired design, I do think the car is attractive.  Were Peugeot to decide to sell this in the U.S., I would certainly be giving it a serious look.  I currently drive a 405 wagon and had a 505 2.8 in years past.  Both saw use as daily drivers and were reliable enough for that sort of duty.  <br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hugh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2008 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</guid><description><![CDATA[If the Green Goblin drove a car...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cardude3000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2008 9:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</guid><description><![CDATA[The design of the Karmann Ghia was Italian, by the way.<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghia" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghia</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tenfifteen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2008 10:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/24/peugeot-to-produce-pretty-308-rc-z/</guid><description><![CDATA[Peugeot has a long history of using Italian designs, so I suppose there is some historical reference for them to borrow from a car like the K-G.
