Peugeot will be replacing its Peugeot 407 sedan (facelifted in mid-2008) with an all-new model in less than two years from now, and apparently it will not be called the 408.
Instead, Peugeot’s Mondeo/Accord-class competitor will be called the 508. This will leave the 4-series range empty save for the Mitsubishi Outlander-based 4007, as the 5-series family also has a modern 5008, which is pretty much a stretched 3008.
The new Peugeot 508 will replace both the 407 and the 607 in Peugeot’s line-up, making the French marque’s exit from the mid-sized executive car segment. A concept version of the car will be unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, and this will be followed by a production car in 2011.

Ouch…already waiting for the 407. Haizz….
Peugeot needs to work hard on their D-segment as the competition is so intensive now with both the Japanese and Korean attacking the Europe market now…
The true sucessor of the great Peugeot 505 after nearly 20 years…..

Peugeot did thought of big engine V8s & V10 on the 607 replacement. Most likely V6 twin turbo on the Flagship as well it most likely after this year. Competing with German Brands & likely Jaguar & Volvo including Lexus.
