Bargain Basement Pug?

Post by steve_earwig »

So there I was, scanning the ads to see how valueless my D9 is these days, when I came across a Peugeot 301. A what? :shock: Nah, that's a 508 surely? Nope, it's a Peugeot 301, which seems to be a new, cut-price Pug that's not available in the UK (which is why I couldn't find it on Honest Johan :frown: ): http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/peugeot/20 ... eugeot-301 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_301_%282012%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_301_%282012%29

It doesn't actually look too bad to me, like the 508 I reckon they must have upped whichever idiot that's been styling Pugs for the last 10 years or so's lithium or something. I just hope it's not as disappointing in the flesh as the 508 was :(

Hmm, launched at the Paris Motor Show back in September, maybe I should read some of those emails Pug send me, instead of dropping them straight in the trash :oops:

Doesn't look bad and in some way better than the 508.

This is like the Renault Logan, isn't it? Only available in "emerging" countries... but it wouldn't have been a bad thing to have such cars here. Not everyone is flush with cash :|

So Croatia is an emerging country? Emerging from what, the stone age? :lol:

Logans are still Dacia here. My sis-in-law has one, I used to think the build quality was appalling (but then I started driving a Toyota :roll: )

Yeah I quite like it. So what is it, small / medium saloon? I'd prefer the styling of that to a 308 but couldn't cope with a saloon again, they'd have to do a hatch or estate to get me properly interested.
