Peugeot 308

smash

I was just looking at a few photos of the new 308, although it just looks like a 307/207 mixup or body panels... does anyone else think the concept drawing was done with tracing paper and a photo of a brera?

Nothing wrong with that, the Brera is a sexy, sexy car.

I agree, and the cars above look pretty good too.

That may be so but the real 307 is a bit of a dog's dinner IMHO...

What the hell has happened to Peugeot - the 306, 406, 405, - all very handsome, great handling. But these new ones:(

I wish they'd drop the big nose/mouth thing they have going with the grilles across their range. It makes all of the cars look utterly unpleasant.

Magnum PIs ferrari was a 308. Peugeot should have more respect for that number.

Unlike the Leon, the 308 will probably be even bigger than the current 307 minibus.

any bets it will look nothing like this when it goes on sale?

This is the production version of the new 308:

One of the engines available will be the 1.6 litre petrol unit co-developed with BMW also in the MINI.

Jaysus, they could've at least re styled the steering wheel and the alloys to reflect the new(er) body. Boring, lazy designers.

ye, like I said "it just looks like a 307/207 mixup"

407 looks good, but reliabilty and build quality reports are not good at all.
