Peugeot 508 video review by autocar.co.uk

We test Peugeot's 407 and 607 replacement

[@Solazed]

Kudos Peugeot for 508 - a supremely impressive effort. It's probably the best AND most desirable Pug ever made. Despite all the bad press, Peugeot has been building cars for more than 200 years and remains consistent and innovative while building sensible but relatively unloved cars, but once in a long while, the marque launches a truly definitive model like the 405 Mi16, 205 GTI or 306 GTI 6, etc? 205 GTI 1,9 was voted Car of The Decade" (1980-1990). I foresee 2011 COTY crown for 508!!

[@jockeleu]

Thanks Autocar! For what? For not making this a 90 sec review!!!

[@4lemer]

I know the interior designer of the car, Adam Bazydlo. Personally I think that car's absolutely stunning!

[@glsracer]

It's good to see them test a top of the range model for once.

[@pretty00lights]

wow looks very very good wish they sold it in the states. thanks for a longer review autocar!

[@gazza1]

Finally a replacement for my 504 and 505!

[@tomdirosse1763]

I have had in the past owned the 505 sedan the 405mi16 5 speed the 504 sedan the 304 sedan and the Renault le car I can’t wait for the return of Peugeot

[@pilotRajdowy]

@Solazed FYI first peugeot automobile is dated at 1889 (steam powered three-wheeler)

[@BestCarSound]

@MyriadesusTV Yes, I agree with You, I saw one at motorshow and it was beauty. Quite comfortable and spacious as well

[@Mr1wd]

best presenter from autocar !!

[@TheJoeMB]

It looks remarkbly good for a Peugeot. Better looking than the Mondeo and passat estates for sure

[@rawsketch]

This looks pretty good. Kinda like the new Mazda estate, which I can't get here in the states.

[@jml8841]

@MrTBA97 Well the suspention on the 300C is from the W220 S-class. So there's nothing wrong with that. Seems you got a lemon.

[@mitsoulas93]

This seems so nice. One from the very few Peugeot cars I like... The sedan is better.

[@MrGlennB]

Looks pretty good, for a touring.

[@Waffleater1]

This car looks great in any color but baby blue i think. Look at some pictures of it in black.

[@j69d]

yeah thats nice, could imagine it'll stand out during the night!

[@jml8841]

@MrTBA97 There's nothing wrong with the 300C's quality. I've had mine for 3 years now and everything works fine.

[@derbigpr500]

@Capago92 No? What about the 308? 3008? 5008? RCZ? All among the best in the class. Interior quality of new peugeots is on Audi level. And im being serious here. 508 is not any worse than A4 inside. The materials actually feel surprisingly similar.

[@derbigpr500]

Yea you can have 3 series or C-class for 30k...but not with that equipement and with a basic engine. I saw the 508 today, and i can tell you one thing. Inside and out, it looks MUCH MUCH better in person than on the pictures and videos. Its actually ugly on this video, but in person it looks amazing.

[@rogefedwon]

It looks like a Mondeo for the back and a troll from the front!

[@etlamphil]

it looks quite good actually. but if it is as expensive as mondeo and passat i do not really see the point its making.

[@panta22]

@kaimelis it is all the same here. what change are you talking about?

[@scootosan]

for a peugee it looks good and a wagon to boot

[@saavaa]

@Capago92 You can't say for a fact if something is good looking or not, it's all personal preference.

[@JonWBLPhotographer]

nice car

[@BlackenedNL]

i think it looks pretty ok

[@L3g4cyTT]

I generally dont like Peugeots but I like it

[@chosuriki]

Nice road. Very clean and empty.

[@Vizcaio]

@kaimelis agreed... You are completely right... Looks like amateur work

[@JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

It looks like the love-child of an Audi-Volvo union.

[@sspope]

@ihcim108 Those 2 cars are small and cramped. This one is much bigger.

[@MegaVinny73]

Better than the crap. Produced in recent years since this

[@tomdirosse1763]

What about 208

[@livc44411]

(Peugeot have openly admitted to using the same supplier that Audi uses for its dashboard plastics).Anyway,it looks better than an Audi,it drives better than an Audi,it is more comfortable than an Audi...but since Audis only tend to be average this would only make the 508 a slightly better than average car ;-) 7/10

[@ladeninlogen]

This car or the vw passat ?

[@Shevabestfan]

Difficult to keep it between those lines on the road :)

[@aethrus]

Why does THIS get a fairly long video and the Audi RS5 gets only 90 seconds?! That's just wrong for an automotive magazine...

[@sspope]

I'd buy it over Monder or Passat. Somehow it's more interesting and appealing than those two

[@derbigpr500]

@Capago92 "i work for a peugeot dealership haha" Yea, and I'm an engineer at NASA.

[@xMysteriousNLx]

Got one :)

[@Stiggy37]

They're going around two corners all the time.

[@oscar24957]

morgen staat hij op mijn oprit

[@AdamS32828]

The front is pretty ugly but it's not too bad, the back is much better.

[@kll.c]

wish peugeot would bring back that elephant which used to surprise buttseks prettier models in the past

[@pascaliealiealie]

@eldiablo825 my hero

[@randomstough]

@eldiablo825 you're so cool....

[@magnastic]

The 607 wasn't a good seller. This it's just the 407´s replacement and the 607´s death justification.

[@rippinonap1]

@Vodje01 and thats why the against it post has 96 likes and your comment only has 30

[@derbigpr500]

@Capago92 Nah, actually the fuckers fired me last week.....so they took away that corvette they gave me while i was working there. :P

[@aquaphoenixx]

It kind of reminds me of a Maserati. (a fat Maserati but a Maserati non the less) which is not bad. But it is a French car. It will break often, so NO...

[@hayksamvelyan]

It doesn't look French, it's more of an Asian design. Not a bad looking car though

[@derbigpr500]

Reading the comments below, I came to the conclusion that majority of youtube users are blind.

[@posro1988]

this or volvo v60 nothing else

[@saavaa]

@Capago92 That's why I said IMO (In My Opinion), if you don't like it GTFO

[@seauryakumar]

Its an interesting car but Its too expensive for a Peugeot ...

[@MrEngineerNasa]

you have to see new 3-series that is mega lol, from bad to worst..

[@hultii]

when the 407 came out i thought it looked amazing ... but this one looks pretty ugly and strange ...

[@Lolzilol123]

Maybe it will grow on me, but I think this car is pretty ugly. And I never understood why motoring journalists don't like being able to adjust stuff - it's not like you HAVE to adjust it, you know. Maybe it's just me not being a native English speaker, but I have a hard time hearing what the journalist is saying sometimes - his voice isn't very loud compared to the tyre noise.

[@SomeCrazyFellow]

Peugeot need to sort out their names; they make no sense to me.

[@derbigpr500]

Everyone who says this is ugly , or it looks like a mazda (WTF?), go see it in person , and youll see how wrong you are. The guy below me who says it looks like attempt to copy the R8, get some glasses my friend.

[@MrBazpoker]

Ok, so this car deserves more than 90 seconds, but the other cars you've tested don't? I cincerely hope you've ditched the 90 secs of shit from now on!

[@eldiablo825]

first

[@Dermo1985]

Does nothing for me.

[@nikh31]

It looks like a Mazda =/

[@yaroukh]

n-th

[@arktaro]

Peugeot of the old design was fantastic. This is ugly.

[@jr02ray]

It looks like a Mondeo. Disappointing.

[@saavaa]

Ugly ! Peugeot didn't make good looking car since 206 IMO

[@MrTorrHumor]

you cant drive dude, you cross the line all the time.

[@nicholasxuu]

omg it's ugly!
