I have a 207cc and a 407 coupe. May be you should all stop dreaming and own one. i have had VW and pugs are more comfortable and stylish. if you want to drive an old ladies car go right ahead

I have a Peugeot 308 hatchbatch and after 13000kms it feels like an old car already, creaks, rattles and knocks even on smooth surfaces, which are few and far between in Australia. I know they worked really hard to get these cars build quality up to scratch, but seriously.. its no where near that of japanese or german cars.

I agree…. If I was in the market for a CC This is the one I would go for – for starters; it looks better and has more standard features than most of its competition.

However; I’m amazed that none of the manufacturers who build convertibles like this don’t offer an optional storage box.. ; instead of the superfluous rear seats

If not an upgraded ICE system with more speakers and a couple of subs – given how bad Stereos sound in a cabrio if/when you’ve got the roof down

A thumbs up for build quality hey? I’ve always dreamed of seeing a Pug praised for it’s screwed-togetherness. Pity it’s come at the expense of absolutely everything else.

Yeah c’mon Alex… after all your fuss about the Scirocco definitely being a coupe it appears you’ve forgotten that VW already have a coupe in their lineup.

Volkswagen does make a coupe, it’s called the Scirocco. So no need to imagine what it might look like! You’re right about the looks of the thing, the 308 CC does look a bit “slabby” and chunky in real life. When you see an older 306 Cabriolet on the roads it makes you realise what beautiful, elegant cars Peugeot used to design, and how far they have drifted in the meantime.

Well I’m not a fan. I generally like Peugeots but this one looks dumpy, frumpy, fragile, awkward and fat. Not to mention the shear size of the thing. I saw one parked outside a dealer the other day and I don’t know if it was just the angle but it looked huge. It does have a nice interior and it is a bit more interesting than an Eos, but I would have to take the Eos. I always got the feeling that if Volkswagen did make a proper coupe, it wouldn’t look too different to what the Eos is now. It looks tidy and sporty and not bloated and heavy. But would peugeot really design a coupe that looked like this does with the roof up? I doubt it. You cold probably rely on an Eos more too. I don’t doubt the 308′s build quality, but a French folding roof when even the Germans and the Japanese haven’t mastered it? Hmmm.

this can’t be more expensive than EOS if you count the options to get the same level of equipment!

True2 but can u imagine heading off to work around 8 with the top down while slurping mochacino when stopping at red light? Thats good energy booster i think, rather than having coffee at home/shop
