Doesn't suit the car at all.

However, I would be interested to see how a similar facelift may have looked on the XM. Perhaps with losing the indented line below the shoulder line and with body coloured pillars.

Seeing as it is being shown to the world in China (odd place, europe would seem a more logical choice), do you think the 408 will be offered in China Blue?

If it is anything like Painta (deliberate SIC) Blue, every panel will be a different shade of Blue despite being the same bloody paint code

It will. But over there they just call it blue.

The 508 pics ive seen thus far look pretty cool, i'm daring to think peugeot might once again be on the right design track. The RCZ is looking the dogs nuts too. Incidently I took a stroll through the online car builder and an RCZ in a spec you'd want (163bhp HDI) came to around £28,000. Not sure of the Audi tiTTies price but the Pug seems a decent alternative and I reckon it'll sell by the bucket load.

I've picked up on a couple of comments scrolling through about modern cars having 'sporty = crippling' suspension and I totally agree and quite frankly I'm a bit worried I've been in a host of newish cars lately which my mates have bought and quite frankly, the rides are attrocious and cover a range of manufacturers. Do people not believe in suspension travel with well sorted damping these days?? I do appreciate a 'sporty' ride but I feel car manufacturers are taking it too far with too much of their range these days. I cannot remember a situation on the road yet were I've thought 'Oh, I need stiffer suspension, lower profile tyres and a lower centre of gravity to get me to work half a second quicker'.... Phew, think thats my rant over...

Actually, Im only 23, I should love stiffer suspension, lower profile tyres and a lower centre of gravity...
