The Reincarnation of Peugeot?! (Chapter 1)

I’m pretty certain even a big boomer in a remote area of Sri Lanka recognise and praise the legendary Peugeot 504. Thats how good it was. It was a masterpiece and nothing less during it’s release. Then followed the faithful 406, a crowd favourite in Lanka. Tried and tested. Value for money even compared to an Indian Alto. After that things just turned shiiiiit. I’m confident everyone here has seen that Top Gear episode on “modern day Peugeot’s” and had a good laugh, I know I did.

Then that decade ended and 2011 hit… 


SAY HI TO THE PEUGEOT 508.THE CAR THAT MADE PEUGEOT BREATHE AGAIN. Keen eyes will notice the Birth and Reincarnation of the mighty brand.8E898777-83A7-459E-9FFE-D34E797BF6AA.thumb.jpeg.a95503b5add2835e597e4770e11b3aaf.jpeg

Well we all know what the 508 did to pug. It made the brand get-off life support. Thanks to this car we see that beauty on the road named mkii 3008. This car really upped the game. The style/safety/tech(good lord the tech) and performance really nailed it. Handling was superb yet comfy, can really shame most cars out there. Available in both petrol and diesel. Station wagon models never made it to Lanka. But we do have a RXH here.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but nigga you think this ugly. You blind. 
 

I have had so many nice cars and yet this is the one that keeps me coming back to. You are right if you think the front end has mustang vibes. I’ve briefly owned a 2017 Mustang Convertible in silver and they do have resemblance. After all they both got the iconic “3 stripe” tail lights. I’m biased but I think it’s one of the best designs out there. Fight me lol.
 

 

Till next chapter, here’s what you’ll see at night if you like it one shot style LMAO.

Peace ✌🏼

Hell no ! This is gorgeous and the 3008 Mk2 looks like her chubby sister with freckles and crooked teeth devouring a turkey leg !

Pugs are nice inside...it feels like sitting on a cloud and getting whisked away (explains why the old ones were so popular for tourism..and as a hearse :D )

Haha the 3008 interior is where my heart is at. Exterior I wouldn’t call it ugly but It’s certainly not eye candy like the 508.

True.very cushy and can really haul ass when needed.

Late to the party and started reading this! For me Pugs were always the standard of French motoring. Amid the quirky Citroens and the Renaults the Pugs held their own with a relatively more mainstream/solid design language in addition to the legendary 504, and the 406 (which I personally find just gorgeous) I really dig the 505 as well.

Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the illuminati. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email ([email protected]) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life

Apart from the recent rat attack on the wiring, the 406 has been running well so I may as well not jinx it with black magic lol.

Doing good, for a 20+ year old euro its reliable.

Tiny niggles and wear and tear items that have been ironed out so far. Only issue to be sorted is the BSI being finicky once a while (rat attacks long term damage).

By default, well sorted our cars.

Nice design, lovely to drive from what reviews say. A good Audi TT alternative.

For ownership costs, @fiat fanwill be the best guy to ask because they share alot of mechanicals.
