First drive: Peugeot Instinct concept review
Peugeot 5008
That should hold upwards almost 12 people in the UK, too diverse French ministries.
Sad, simply likely truthful fifty-fifty if it’s gorgeous too drives similar a dream. Hope it didn’t cost besides much to develop.
We grew upwards amongst large Pugs, 404 too 504 theater unit of measurement estates. Tough, smoothen too relaible.
I intend Paul is beingness optimitic almost Peugeot selling 12 of these, hell fifty-fifty Ford can't sell the decent Mondeo inwards large quantities whatever more.

I had to Google "Mondeo" to cheque whether it was notwithstanding beingness made. The response is, barely.
In 1997 they sold 322,716 of them across Europe every bit a whole.Last year, 2017, they sold 56, 173.
It would accept something quite extraordinary to build a Peugot equivalent a success unless the evolution costs are virtually zero. I wonder why they create it.
You're on a motorcar forum too you lot weren't aware that Ford still made the Mondeo? I discover that bizarre to say the least.
Didn't notice he irony?
405, 406, 504, 505, 605 ... they all were at to the lowest degree on par amongst the best out there.
Idem the 508 score II.
Brilliant car, peculiarly the 180 HDI 'clean' diesel
Why does it non aspect a lot closer to the Instinct concept? Producing apparently looking saloons volition non assistance sell them. With SUV's too MPV's providing infinite for those who desire it why non become the avant-garde road amongst saloons too become large on trend too drama. Something much closer inwards appearance to an Instinct would plough over a argue for buying too compete against the high riding, tough looking, SUV's.
If peugeot too others proceed to build this type of blueprint they volition surly leave of absence out completely, which is a shame, every bit a skilful saloon notwithstanding deserves a house inwards the showroom.
i advise you lot become meet an optician if you lot intend it's a apparently looking saloon
and for the Instinct concept aspect the bring upwards lite they are precisely the same
Andrew,
"Big on trend & drama" is precisely what the New 508 is all about.
