Well to answer the first question you have to ask someone who knows..and
Peugeot will not provide that answer. You have a better chance of finding
out by asking FIAT R&D in the Detroit. FIAT R&D has a reputation of prepping
cars for US crash and emission tests. Most of these cars are not theirs. You
know its a crazy business when a car will pass one day and then not the
next. Call them up with and ask them what cars their working on.

As far as question 2.

Using Audi as a comparison, I would say that the 406 is comparable to the A4
and the 607 should be in league with the A6. I think A6's are in the mid to
upper 30's. Not too sure.
