2010 Peugeot 408
The Peugeot 408, the replacement for the 407, will be officially revealed later this year and will go on sale in the UK in 2010. "An evolution, not revolution," a company insider told Autocar. The style remains conservative and the insider also said that no drastic modifications were made. However, it does stand out from other mid-sized saloons due to its detailing and "hard-edged" looks. The insider said, "For the overall effect, think Insignia." A hybrid powertrain is featured in the lineup. Most likely it will come with a diesel engine rather than petrol. A hybrid 408 would be capable of class-leading economy and CO2 of less than 100g/km. Peugeot has pioneered the diesel hybrid in cars like the 3008 and plans to extend the technology to its next generation of saloons. [via autocar]
