2010 Peugeot 408 for Chinese Market
This is the Peugeot 408, which was inaugurated in the Beijing Motor Show last weekend. However, a break with tradition by not being a direct replacement for the 407 repmobile familiar British streets. Instead it's an extension of wheelbase, bustle-back version of the 308 hatchback, intended for the Chinese market where customers demand four-door saloons with separate boots and plenty of space for rear passengers. This PSA is based on the second of three modular platform. Direct replacement for the European 407 will be 508, due next year. PSA will use the largest platform (also used for the Citroen C5 and C6) with a more sophisticated suspension than the 308/408 and the overall length is greater. Peugeot now admitted that he made a mistake by limiting the back room 407 in an effort to boost sales of large MPV.

2010 New Peugeot 508 Testing
Peugeot's replacement for the 407 and 607 saloons, the 508, has been caught in the winter tests under heavy disguise. Peugeot 508 will sit in between the two models it replaces in terms of size and will share all new chassis with the Citroen C5. Disguise the car's weight construction gives little away about the 508's styling. However, it is understood that the design has eye-catching and detailed "hard-edged" look that will help to stand out from other medium saloons. Peugeot 508 is expected to feature hydropneumatic suspension and adaptive headlights. A diesel-hybrid powertrain option is also likely to be offered, Peugeot was a pioneer of technologies with 3008 hybrids to come. 508 concept car is expected to be introduced this year's Paris Motor Show, before it launched the production version at the Geneva motor show next year.

16 Worst Cars Consumer Choice of The Decade
You would think that with more than a century worth of experience, ultra-sophisticated market research and cost-storey car park failed to look back, the motor industry would be better to build cars that people actually want. But no. Over the last decade thousands of buyers in the wrong direction and disappointment the car company's shareholders have been left to survey the ruins of broken dreams. The first 10 years of this century has changed the impressive array of machines that have lost all kinds of targets.

Taking on BMW, Mercedes and Audi is ambitious, taking them on in their heartland is bolder still and doing it with your weaponry compromised is downright reckless. But compromised (to say the least) was the Vel Satis, most obviously by over-sized headlamps and angled, egg-crate grilles that made it look narked, as well it might with its fat rump and back-flipping C-pillars. And this in an era when Renault’s styling was on good form. Lumpy looks and a lumpy ride, for both the occupants and its maker.

The best crossovers combine a canny blend of features from various breeds and gift wrap them with a flourish; think Nissan Qashqai or Skoda Yeti. But for an example of how not to do it, remember the 2005 Fiat Croma, a tall estate whose arrival stood out like a raindrop in a thunderstorm. Roomy enough to ring with the echo of wailing Fiat execs.

Uber-saloon looks like a cross between an S-class and a stretched Rover 75, but without the elegance. What happens when beating your rival gets out of hand.

The bustle-booted Toledo was essentially the same car as the Seat Altea, but with a distended rear end whose presence was easy to spot but hard to fathom. Painful proof that bigger really isn’t better.

Lazy electric rear sliding doors, excess heft, weak engines, cramped rear quarters and a tiny boot punched holes in Peugeot’s hopes for this novel city car, which departed British showrooms after only three years. Novel, but tripped up by sensible-shoes styling and a troubled door policy.

These days there are few truly dire cars out there, but this was one. Launched 2007, deleted 2009 - enough already of this abomination.

Fiat tried to build a Latin Golf with the five-door Stilo, but ended up with an updated Austin Maestro. Semi-decent early sales, vanishing like a sandcastle at high tide in 2004

Too hulking to appeal to anyone not blessed with a six-lane highway outside their front gate. A great big cross-pollination of an idea that failed to germinate.

A nightmare grille was just one of the B9 Tribeca’s troubles; mediocrity in too many other departments was another. That astounding grille couldn’t have helped. Way off target.

The 406 Coupé was much admired - the bigger, pricier, edging-towards-ugly 407 Coupé has proved a resounding miss. Too big, expensive and not pretty enough to sell like its predecessor.

Renault truly lived up to its occasional reputation for weird cars with this: a rebodied, two-door Espace with no rear leg room. Great, but too bold for its own good. In effect, it was a limited edition.

A desperately frustrating automated manual gearbox, a chassis that was set up for understeer and a strangely styled nose doomed an intriguing sportster. Snared by high prices and a clunky transmission. Not so smart, then…

Instead of hiding an excellent chassis and powertrain beneath dull, Euro-Nippon styling, Nissan eased back on dynamics and went for a radical look. Odd styling helped to kill Nissan’s aspirations in this class

Hampered by a limited range, unconvincing retro styling and the fact that too many people knew it was based on a Ford Mondeo. A good idea misguidedly executed on inappropriate hardware. Died in 2009.

Peugeot 3008 2.0 HDi FAP 150 Sport New Crossover
Peugeot may have just come late to the idea of crossover, but the word appears so often in all publicity material must compensate for the new 3008 for each time lag. Here, there are some that cross the boundaries: the 3008 is part SUV, part estate car, the hatchback, the MPV. It was high but did not have four-wheel drive, instead offering (optional, and not in the test car) that 'the grip of control' system that is not good at something with traction control and ESP on slippery surfaces like snow, mud or sand.
But that's hardly the main point. As has been done with the Nissan Qashqai, Peugeot tried to attract buyers' fantasies by offering a sense of SUVs without the burden, cost and social shame the truth. In the case of Nissan, so successful was the idea that the company left the ordinary hatchback idea at all, but Peugeot will not do it. In contrast, the 3008 is a long and hatching rates between 308 and 308 SW estate. Given that the version 2.0 HDI 148bhp Sport tested here is not 308's 134bhp, it has seemed good value.
Partly styling is a subjective business, but few people would rain as Peugeots new design aesthetic achievement in the history of free enterprise, decorated with handsome car. The sawn-off, oddly shaped wheel arches are part of the most troubling, while the high waist 3008, although successful in instilling a sense of power, making for complex maneuvers. These cars and RCZ will be the last Peugeots to wear in front of the rictus grin, and we should probably be pleased.
Peugeot's crossover is not a credible Convey faux-SUV ruggedness, though, with the butch attitude and skidplates false front and rear. The arrow-like tail-lights are interesting - like the fact that, amazing, aerodynamic drag coefficient is only 0296.
The 3008 uses familiar version of PSA group Platform Two, which also supports the regular 308, the new 5008 Citroën MPV and their relatives. That means that the rear suspension is a simple torsion beam - Peugeot has been left trailing arms had been fully independent chassis with the signature, on the basis of cost - but in the 3008s the most powerful of the rear suspension of extras, the center dampers designed to reduce body roll.
Next year we will see a range of 3008 Hybrid 4 join, with four-wheel drive electric motor thanks to the addition of the rear wheels. The pair of power units will create a total of £ 369 and 197bhp ft of torque, but the value of CO2 output at the current state of development just 109g/km.
