What's up with Peugeot?

[Bram Hengeveld]

No idea when this started happening but for the first time in my life (exception the legendary 205) I am starting to love the look of Peugeots.

Saw the new racey 208 the other day in yellow and it looks mindblowing.

Job well done P!

Matthias Hossann is the new designer in chief for Peugeot since the new 208/2008 released 6 months ago.

Peugeot have done some good work, whereas BMW are rapidly losing it. Who at BMW is signing off these styling designs?

Someone involved with BMW told me it's the growing Chinese market.. apparently they like these new grills over there...

BMW trying hard to get the face of their cars to look like a Baboon ass. And their nailing it! China LOVES big grills, that’s why..

My guess is they're trying to appeal to the US and hence these huge monstrosities. They did it in the mid to late 00s.

What about the 306 GTi, or the 406 Coupe, or even the 306 cab?
