2:07 Probably the most 80's advert ever: "Let's set fire to a field and drive the car through some explosions to the soundtrack of Take My Breath Away by Berlin!" "Why?" "Because this is the 1980's! Where style trumps substance every time! Now go fetch my double-breasted suit from the dry cleaners!"

Surprisingly still looks quite crisp and clean for a 30 year old car! And seemed to be well made. As good as its German rivals of the period at least, and probably better equipped too. Shame nobody really cared in the UK because it was too easily mistaken for a 405, and lacked a German badge on the nose.

I use to work for Peugeot back in the 80s and early 90s....unfortunately the 605 was to similar to its smaller brother in design though ironically it seems to have aged fairly well, it was uninspired to drive...and was a total sales failure in its market sector, we had stock discounted to fleet management buyers at 45% of list price....and on average they were held in stock for 8 months....

I repeat that Pininfarina participated in the conception of the car as well as the Peugeot internal team. Both influenced the design and influenced each other. But I insist that saying that the interior is *100% Pininfarina* is a *lie*. And the same with the exterior.
