But at least the Fonz isn't on the advert!!! I like the look of this - must admit. Wheels look big though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Loose that black bumper front look. Don't like it on the facelift 307's either. At least there is no slidey door! Other than that, looks OK. Ads & music should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 A mate (not close) was on the design team for the 207. Now working for Nissan in Detriot designing some future car for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 *Shakes head* Anyone get the CEO of Peugeot's address so I can give him a slap and tell him to stop producing ugly tat like this? That grille looks like Jaws from the Bond movies with braces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 The brakes'll break, the doors'll collapse, and the dealers'll rip you off. Apart from that, and the fact it's ugly, it's brill! "The Top Gear Survey - is your car good, or is it French?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 And i thought if anyone would be sticking up for Pugs and French cars with it, it'd be you Neil!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I love Peugeot's but they just seem to of lost thier way recently mainly styling wise, I still hate those too bigger grilles. In the past their line up consisted of the 205, 106 and 306. The 206 is a handsome looking thing as was the 307. But now they just don't seem to have the same character of the past.

mrzed Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Nice rear 3/4 but the grin ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problem_Child Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Looks ok, but that's going to have over the shoulder blind spots you could lose Luxembourg in with those rear windows! And they'd better improve the seats too, the last 206 I drive almost made me a paraplegic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Very true mate! The 205, 306 and 406 Coupe in particular, where top designs (although Pininfarinna had sommat to do with it). If only Puegeot still used them.

theduisbergkid Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 This one looks great, but its a top spec one, wait for the poverty spec with 13" and unpainted bumpers, and the famously crap Peugeot quality and service .... Mind you, if they put a V6 in it for under £12k it would make a good track day car .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3Floyd Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I must be the only one that likes the front of this car Not a lover of the big-mouth designs to date but i think it works really well with this car. thumbs up from me though as has been already said, build quality and poor dealers will let the car down no doubt. Shame really cos the french really know how to make a great handling car and their designs are always refreshing if not a bit wierd at time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 It's an English designer now - so i read in the Sun today. 2 page spread on how brits are designing a lot of cars now across the world. Eg Mazda, Nissan, Ford, Jag, Seat, Peugeot and that classic design - Ssangygyoougngsdngng Rodius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
