2009 Peugeot 207 & 308 CC set for Melbourne release
January 16, 2009 by Matt Brogan
Peugeot will release its 207CC and unveil its 308CC at this year’s Melbourne International Motor Show which runs from 27 February to 9 March at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
Due to go on sale in Australia later this year, the 308CC promises to be a unique and attractive offer for enthusiasts of lifestyle motoring.
With four full-size seats, the 308CC features a warm air system in the front seats, which acts as a scarf by diffusing warm air around the occupant’s shoulders and neck, adjustable for temperature, flow and direction.
Peugeot pioneered the concept of folding roof cars way back in the 1930s with its elegant 401, 601 and 402 “Eclipse” models, and it revived the concept for the 21st century with the hugely popular 206CC.
The 308CC is the latest of the Peugeot coupé cabriolets which have led the trend away from soft-tops to the comfort and security of metal folding roofs in affordable four-seat convertibles.
It is scheduled for a mid-year launch on the Australian market to replace the successful 307CC and complete the 308 range of hatches and Touring wagons.

Love the side and rear profile of this one. Looks sweet, and a lot nicer than the 307cc. Still unsure of the wide-mouth front, but it’s growing on me. Pininfarna did some of their best work in the past, but in in house stuff seems to be coming together ok.
Definately consider one in a gun-metal gray.
Make that Pininfarina. Typo
Would have to agree – the styling is more refined than the last model. Putting this on the list for my mid year upgrade. The BMW1 series is an amazing drive (drove today) but the options list brings the 120i in the low 80K mark when you add i-drive $7k option (madness)Does anyone know how the Pug drives?? I hate when the body shudders on a cabrio! Do they have usable boot space when the roof is down?
207CC has been out for ages???
I dunno… pugs seem to be looking more and more like frogs with each new model.
That’s not just a cheap french/frog joke either – new pugs really are looking like they’d be right at home on a lilypad in a swamp, with their bulging headlights, gaping lower grills, lack of nostril-type vents and massive front overhangs.
European pedestrian-protection laws may be saving lives, but they’re sure making cars look ugly. Ribbit.
lol
LOL I dont know why I read that post but when I got to the last word I cracked up.
Jimbo, I agree 207 CC been out for over 18 months.
Is Peugeot doing a facelift??
Can someone advise please.
Oh wow, must go get a blow wave and pop down to the showroom for a latte.
Nice car. For a girl.
