New 508 now a hatchback! Do 3-series buyers (seems all are 320D here) not care about the badge and a "proper boot". Might sell well as still many unhappy passat drivers after dgate. Also VW brought out a fancy Passat as the current one is soo bland so if the 508 looks better…Old 508 looked good from the front but the rear was a pig. If it handles well and offers more kit than a Passat/3-series and feels nimble but more room. How did the handling compare to the BMW3 Bob? Was the diesel as good as the TDI passat/320D? Agree that a hybrid/plugin should be on sale (the 320E is on offer and the poor PassatGTE
I like the design, but people who buy this cars are searching for something practical and not a fancy Peugeot.
The previous generation wasn’t that good looking but larger.
Looks amazing. However I expect it will depreciate like a stone off a cliff. Could make for some excellent 1 or 2 year old cars after its been around a bit.
Was the cheque book almost out on this one? Or do you prefer the out going model?
1:03 Don't buy the diesel, it produces one hundred and turdy horsepower!
You are pronouncing the name wrong! Those LED lights under mani lights on front are ruining the looks!
508 is the most desirable car in the segment for sure.
Looks stunning imho. Someone at Peugeot is a fan of Peter Schreyer at Kia I think…
If you're looking for nice shoes..buy Italian.
If you're looking for nice clothes..buy French.
If you're looking for a proper car…buy German.
Nice to see Peugeot making good cars again after a bunch of complete crap boxes.
And how do we pronouce Peugeot? Definitely not like that!
What da hell is that "Piujo" you talk about?
It will be so ugly in 8 years.
Love this, so sad these are a dying breed.
Pretty
Bob another great review, love the drone work 🙂
I just chose the Mondeo over this 508 I think it’s still the better car and AWD. Whats the point of 180 hp and FWD really?
Wow! Stunning! Love the small steering wheel, would hope other brands catch on. The AC traditionally has been one of the best in PSA cars so knobs are not needed except for those that are there available even in this 508.
Thanks Bob for a great review. I'm guessing Peugeot Ireland will launch this 508 at the Ploughing in September.
That interior is rank.
Bob, where exactly is that road in the mountains you were driving on? It's beautiful there.
Peugeot sadly not the brand it once was but they’re bouncing back exterior style wise at least. Looks stunning but I was never a fan of 3-box cars. Hate the steering wheel.
looks the part but will need to be competitive price wise i think, tough section to win over for choice.
A nice change
Don't know how it looks in the skin but in the video, the proportions look odd and it's a bit…conservative. Like the bravery of the interior :o)
Fleet Buyers will snap this up if the price is right
What a handsome looking car. Peugeot are hitting out with some top notch cars right now.
Any relationship between the 508 and the Vauxhall Insigna?
Great looking car, probably the prettiest European saloon…. and more great aerial drone photography! Hope the Estate version will be as good, if not better
if u put it next to a Lancer,u wont recon who is who (from some distance ofc)….
Shame the plug in won't come out till autumn 2019. Not worth buying till then.
Good looking thing. No knob!
Bring back the knob!!!
Some nice views there, must be fun on those roads! Reminds me of an Alfa from some angles or maybe that’s just me?
That looks great, is it wafty or have they gone German firm with it?
Like the design. Peugeot, volvo and lexus have been designing some great looking cars whilst the Germans have been conservative
