A quarter of a century ago, Ari Vanaten attacked Pikes Peak in the legendary Peugeot 405 T16, and the resulting footage of the attempt led to the renowned documentary “Climb Dance”. For 2013, Peugeot will be back at Pikes Peak with the appropriately named 208 T16. Piloting the 208 T16 will be WRC ace Sebastian Loeb, which should make the 208 T16 a formidable contender on that basis alone.

- Varezhka Maybe the volume was not big enough to really matter anyways, but losing a “passenger car” for a mostly “light truck” line-up should help Subaru with their CAFE numbers too.
- Varezhka For this category my car of choice would be the CX-50. But between the two cars listed I’d select the RAV4 over CR-V. I’ve always preferred NA over small turbos and for hybrids THS’ longer history shows in its refinement.
- AZFelix I would suggest a variation on the 'fcuk, marry, kill' game using 'track, buy, lease' with three similar automotive selections.
- Formula m For the gas versions I like the Honda CRV. Haven’t driven the hybrids yet.
- SCE to AUX All that lift makes for an easy rollover of your $70k truck.

Pikes Peak is now paved all the way up so it lost 100% of it's appeal. The Sierra Club filed suit, saying the dust and gravel going over the side was "ruining the Alpine Environment". Now because of the speeds, cars are literally flying off the roadway, knocking down trees and spilling all types of fluids and oils. This is another excellent vid youtube.com/watch?v=K8nptFx1jug
