I know that Peugeot had crappy cars back then when they were here , but this is a car that they can bring back.
If Fiat came back with that s*** 500 then Peugeot could come back with this.

Meh. I don't know the conversion for currency, but it seems pretty expensive for what you get. Not a big fan of the styling either. Cool that it's diesel, but that's about where it stops... for me at least.

Diesel is a tough cookie here in the US.

Its decent looking, but does not seem outwardly special.

Indeed. That would be a badass Juke for sure.

As with all French cars, I don't like the back. I also don't like the Pontiac-style rear doorframe.

I also find it HILARIOUS that an Accord-competitor is the brand's "Range-topper". Nice work, Pugeot. $50k USD for an automatic front-drive family sedan. I don't care how much torque it makes, for $50k I can buy a whole slew of real cars. How does this sell in Australia of all places, where you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a rear-drive family sedan with fifty performance variants for a lot less money.

Excitement over stuff like this, though, is why GM needs to put the LFX in the Malibu, and why Ford needs an ecoboost Fusion. Both will do 330+hp. Both would cost a lot less than $50k. And I'm sure at least GM would have the brains to put a manual trans behind (er...next to) it.

It looks hardly different than any other Camry/Accord out there. MoD is right, too expensive, no bang for buck, impractical.

I saw that Super Juke at the top of the OPs page. Unfortunately I had to swallow alittle bit of puke after looking at it.
