Peugeot 3008: Love it, hate it

Just came across this ad for the the yet to be launched Peugeot 3008 on carzone
http://www.driving.ie/usedcars/index...00933194885275

Have to say...I love this RR style tailgate




but, oh dear ...what about the "face that only a mother could love"?

Bweh. The Audi may be garish and jarring thanks to the rad but the Pug's front end is in another category of "ugly" entirely

not really - you're forgetting, unless you're very unlucky, you won't be meeting it at that eye level.............

Parallax can make a whole bunch of stuff look odd, for example...... some say the new E-Class is ugly. To the rest of us, you're just at the wrong viewing angle.............(apologies to Jeremy Clarkson.......)

Good point!

I actually drove a 1007(A 1.4 8v, in bright yellow!) last month(A courtesy car for my aunt!). What a revolting thing. Ridiculously slow and dont get me started about those fuppin doors....


This is a little better. Pretty much the same as the C4 grand picasso though!

There are many design cues I can see Peugeot nicked when designing both the interior and exterior of that car. I also think it is hideously ugly and totally lacks originality.

Peugeot as a manufacturer just won't cop on. Everything they produce nowadays is bloated, gaping mouthed rubbish and it really is a shame.

Seen it in real life and it does look impressive. Sat into it and it is nice too. Pictures don't do it justice at all.
