European CotY 2014

[Quantum Theory]

So, Peugeot is trying to reposition themselves as a premium brand. This means they are to Citroen, what Audi is to VW. Supposedly... They just won European Car of the Year a few days ago, with the new 308.









I think it looks good. I know we're not supposed to like French cars, but I've always had a soft spot for Peugeot and Citroen. Almost bought one.

There will be an R version too. Ignore the two-tone on the concept...

Why don't we like french cars? All I ever used to hear was just don't buy a french car, and i'm guessing the only reason was because of service costs?

What the....a great-looking Peugeot?! I'd take one...

I LOVE French cars - and this one looks magic!

French cars got a lousy name in SA because of servicing costs and poor service as well as high price for spares.

Much of that is no longer the case, but in SA once a car gets a reputation it's buggered, which is a tragedy.

I would happily own one of these.
