Okay, so it looks like Peugeot is trying to milk as much cash as it can from the Peugeot 206 body with it’s latest Peugeot 206 Escapade sold in Brazil, but does anyone remember what the original Peugeot 206 Escapade Concept car looked like?

A perfect example of how a production version might be very different from concepts, the Peugeot 206 Escapade Concept shown in 1998 was based on the 3-door version of the Peugeot 206, kitted out to look like an offroader, had a higher suspension (by 5cm to be exact) and came complete with the spare tyre mounted on the tailgate.

Three more photos after the jump.

    Worthy of the PUG badge. Regardless of its form over function (compared to the production version) pit these two together and the concept would outsell the other. The production version is the personification of “business school over design flair” which is becoming increasingly evident as large scale manufacturers gun for volume to earn profits. Its a tough business.

    The concept looks much better, and yea, it deserves the Peugeot badge, unlike the pathetic-looking production model.

    arena is a light pick-up car, not “escapade”
