I wonder how that would sell for in T&T. A 1.6L engine should not carry too much of a tax burden.

1.6L do not attract much taxes, i not sure in detail..Seeing that this a bit of performance model can we say about over 200K TT...The price quoted is 14,345 x fx rate of 12.5 =179312.50 lets add vat 15% =26896.87..So we looking just over 200TT

But if you had to choose between that and a Ford Focus ST, which one would you pick?

I can't remember the specs on the Focus ST, but I think it's a 2.3L 5 cylinder turbo. I can't remember the exact price, but when last I checked (over a year ago), it was around $235K.

Hard choice there, Peugeot have been know for excellent road handling but this is peugeot first small turbo engine. I not sure about the Ford focus but i assume they will try to build along the line of the rally version.
