Officially released photos of the new Peugeot 208.

Alot of people already hating over it on some of the Peugeot forums but I think it's a really nice looking motor tbh

Thoughts??

I like it, best looking 20 since the 205. The 3 door looks good. The 206 was not great and the 207 was one of the first gaping mouth epic fails IMO. Peugeot are starting to make their cars look better now. The 508 is a good looking car, especially in estate guise.

Its a huge improvement I think. They've gotten rid of that STUPID mouth!

It's a little DS3 from the rear 3/4 but I think its very distinctive. (shame it'll probably all fall apart though)

 

[jase]

Quite likey.

like the front end and dash, agree with robo on the rear end, should of been abit more original and not copied the ds3

Looks good. And they are keeping the 3 door which is more than can be said about Renault :jumpon:

Doesn't look to bad, quite like the lights in the roof on the interior pics, not to sure about the screen display though.

Be interesting to see the GTI version

apparently going to have a 211bhp model.

If they can keep the weight down (that link claims base models start at 975kg) it could be decent.

clutch will be the let down, peugeot clutch is made of 70% chocolate.

 

[Robo_#1]

Mmmm chocolate...



(sorry its lunch time and I'm hungry)

Off all 4 peugeots I've owned I've been lucky enough for not to have clutch issues although I went through 3 gear boxes on my 205

And yeah there are a few bits that are ds3 all over lol always the problem when Peugeot own Citroen though lol

 

[inwardnoise]

Oh and this ment to be a run up finalised version of the GTi

I'm a little unsure what to think of it at the moment as I don't like the rear end and the front end is so-so
Think its one of them cars I'll have to see in the flesh first before commenting lol

I really like it tho the rear lights look like taken from the new swift imo
