description
when peugeot introduced the 20 in 1998, it was obvious that this concept-car was a preview of a forthcoming coupé/convertible in the 206 range, since there has always been a convertible in the 200 series / the final 206 cc was introduced in late 2000 / derived from the 3-door hatchback, it's distinguishable by a very sloping windshield, a decklid including a fake luggage rack, and a diminutive retractable hardtop, thus the cockpit is rather small / this roof, which has been designed and is manufactured by heuliez, requires a manual unlocking but otherwise is power operated

without competition until the arrival of opel tigra twintop, nissan micra c+c and mitsubishi colt convertible, the 206 cc has been a great commercial success : more than 300 000 items have been sold yet / available with petrol 1.6 and 2.0 engines right away, the 206 cc has not evolved much during its lifetime / along with the whole range, it has been slightly restyled in april 2003 : new headlight and taillight graphism, better cockpit trim / in april 2005, a diesel 1.6 hdi version has been unveiled and will probably boost sales until the car is replaced in late 2006 by the 207 cc
