I'm a happy owner of a 306 XSi, old design (the one from Studio Pininfarina), 135 CV. Have yet to run into a serious problem with it (8 years old).

I'll probably leave this one to the wife and buy myself a 307 Cabrio Coupé 2.0 (unless I have enough to go for a BMW 330 Ci, of course).

Indeed. Dunno what went throught the minds of the decision makers at Peugeot when they changed the front of the 306 (spoiled it completely) and then went for the 207, which lacks the force and personality of the 306.

The 307 CC is the only modern Peugeot I like.

Not even the 406 coupé ?
(Granted it's not very modern now :))

Post by: CyranoAH on September 01, 2004, 04:24:29 PM: I used to, Straffo, but I think Pininfarina copied a bit too much his rear designs for Ferrari on that one.

I just found out about the 407 Elixir, and after looking at the pics, I must admit I'm undecided between the Elixir and the 307 CC.

Post by: Skuzzy on September 01, 2004, 04:25:35 PM: Now that is an interesting design.

A bit difficult to get a feel for the size of it though from the pictures.
Title: wow Peugeot
Post by: CyranoAH on September 01, 2004, 04:48:31 PM: 4.7 meters long Skuzzy, but it's a concept car as of today. Hope it makes it into the market.

Post by: CyranoAH on September 01, 2004, 05:39:03 PM: Well, the "standard" 407 ain't bad either... it ain't the elixir, but it's nice nevertheless :)

Post by: Ouaibe on September 02, 2004, 08:11:11 AM: First a 206CC then a 307, now I think i'll buy a Volvo for my next car (V60...).
My 307 has just let me down too much to have confidence for peugeot anymore.
There dealers network is really bad when it comes to customer services.

And i work for Renault...

Post by: Nilsen on September 02, 2004, 08:26:06 AM: Awesome Ouaibe... get one of those F1 cars. You wont find space for the shopping but atleast you should get a discount. :)

Post by: Ouaibe on September 02, 2004, 10:20:01 AM: Nielsen, actually i do websites for them... but i don't mind they give me a F1 (with the fuel for it).
