I like the interior, although side profile reminds me of an Impala or Malibu.

Does the hood need to be that long, or are they trying to make it look RWD?

The Renault Talisman looks better, imo.

It's a nice looking car. The French are capable of nice industrial design. Usually uniquely French looking. This car is fairly mainstream.

Yeah, looks too generic. Not enough French.

Thank Ghosn

Wait, that makes no sense but I'll leave it for laughs

I saw this last night; not surprised M. 2o6 was the one to post it here. ;)

I like the exterior; not overly fussy, very nice proportions. That gear shift is wack though.

I'm guessing it has more to do with pedestrian safety.

Idk pedestrian safety usually has to do more with tall noses rather than long noses.



Also, the nose doesn't look long? The car looks well proportioned, but I don't think it looks RWD at all.

I think Euro pedestrian crash regs can be better met if you have a long nose that's blasted upward with airbag detonators.

The hood looked kinda long in the picture of the white car.  It looks like its just the angle since I opened up the photo gallery and it looks pretty standard.

The current Peugeot design language is awesome. I like it.


I love the new Rifter. So much practicality and I kind of view it as a spiritual descendant of the awesome Simca-Matra-Talbot Rancho!  :wub:

Renault curbstomps and gapes PSA in the realm of design

The Clio and Megane are the best looking cars in their segments by a wide margin. The Grand Scenic is gorgeous. Why can't we have REnault :cry:

That interior is an enormous upgrade over the current version. I hope it comes with 4x4.
