[edit] Cleanup (Reorganisation) Needed
The section headings and the areas they cover are inconsistent.
Background should, logically, describe the car's antecedents. This should be followed by sections describing the Phase 1 models and then Phase 2 models.
The current Drivetrain section should only cover the mechanical features, and ought to cover both Phase 1 and Phase 2 models. Currently it includes the only Phase 1 'product' information. Details of the engines would usefully go in a sub-section.
(Sorry, this is not a simple change, and I don't have time to attend to it myself at present).

- OK, OK, now that others have done much of the ground work I have attended to it!
- Many of the article paragraphs have been moved about to fit into sensible headings. Some may not fit very well, but that is for someone else to spot and correct appropriately! In particular, the new paragraph starting "...bewildering array of different model types..." needs urgent attention. A cohesive treatment of the model types is sorely needed in the article, and this is my (very POV) attempt. (Many apologies - it results from trying to buy a 306 last year and attempting to make head or tail of the model variants on offer! I ended up with a D-Turbo S, so if my recent re-org has remained NPOV, that is quite an achievement.)
- Clean-up tag now removed.

Just a few points, I've never actually written anything to wiki before so I'm a bit worried I'll mess it up but afaik the artical has a few facts mixed up/missing.
The 306 had 3 Phases (and an facelift), In order:
Phase 1(93-95): Double front grill, Seperate indicator and headlamp lenses, Mechanical Dials, Square Front Fogs (on certain trim levels)
Available in : XN XL XR XT(add D or Dt for Diesel / Turbo Diesel versions) XS (i for Injection) S16
Phase 1(facelist)(95-97): New grill (still double, but inset badge), New 3 Spoke Steering Wheel, XN & XL were scrapped (No and Low Trim), Slalom, Alpine, Vivant, Verve, Genoa, Mardi Gras, Miami, Style and Equinox were added, (I don't know which trim levels are better/worse in this) And the GTi-6 was released (96, i think)
Phase 2(97-99): D shaped fogs, all in one headlight/indicators, rounder wings, rounder single grill, bumper, and an emblem on the boot release), Digital dials, smoother rear lights that were arranged differently, emblem set into the bonnet.
Available in : L, LX, GL, GLX, XS, XSi and GTi6
Phase 3(99-01): Round fogs, Crystal all in one headlight/indicators, bumper, ABS became standard, rubberless rear window.
Available in : L, LX, GL, GLX, XS, XSi and GTi6
Special Editions (off the top of my head, they phased in and out at different times) Spinnaker(ph1), Meridian (ph2-3), Roland Garos(ph1), DTurbo(ph1-3), DTurbo S(ph1-2), Rallye(ph2-3)
The 306 Cabriolet was styled by Pininfarina, and the range derived from that, it is not just derived from the 205 styling.
"There were no longer "X/G" designations, "X" indicating a three-door, "G" indicating a five-door. There were also special edition versions too, badged "Alpine" from 1994." Is not right.

- That's a very useful summary, and I'd be tempted to put it in the article 'as is' (under the title "Summary of model variants", or something like it). Trouble is, if you do that there will be lots of duplication in the article. I'm not sure how best to get round this, but the nature of Wikipedia is that if you just add this as a new section, someone else (such as me) will come along later and tidy it up a bit!
- It would be even better if you can cite references for this information. It makes it that much easier for others to check stated facts, and gives readers a greater confidence in the information offered.
- Hope that helps... EdJogg 00:48, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
