Upcoming Peugeot 408 image leaked… or not

Peugeot 408

This image of what’s supposed to be a spyshot of the upcoming Peugeot 308 was posted by a forum-peugeot member, but the avid Photoshoppers over at CarSpyShots quickly dismissed it as a 3D rendering with noise added to make it look more realistic, as if it were snapped with a camera phone. Just look at the strange C-pillar and the rest of the car, it just doesn’t look very real. But it could be just the angle.

While other companies are scrambling to build “4-door coupes” at the top of the luxury segment, Peugeot has had one in the basic D-segment category for ages. My wishlist for the 408 would be for more interior room and for the tired 2.0 litre engine to be phased out and replaced by a turbocharged 1.6 litre, like what Peugeot did with the 308.

    If they can make something as beautiful as this, then it should sell, but then again, it French and Jeremy Clarkson hates it:P

    The grille reminds me of an Aston martin signature grille but upside down
