Having already spent one week since the return from Geneva, you might have thought that it had exhausted the coverage of the event, but this is not the case. Browsing memory cards I found several photos of some models of which we have not yet spoken to and they are relatively fall.

The first is the Peugeot 207 , which at the time of taking the photographs you can see that was being examined by a pair of British journalists. From the moment the French manufacturer showed the first images of Peugeot 207 , had to endure the angry reaction of fans to the engine, which quickly bring the exaggerated resemblance to the Peugeot 206, something that certainly one does not expect when performing a generational change. As the Peugeot Peugeot 206 model so extraordinarily popular (in other words, already seen too), it is true that when one is in front of the Peugeot 207 is the impression that this is the typical redesign of mid-life as a completely new car , But only at the beginning. While no one can say that the rear is too similar to the Peugeot 206 (especially the contour), the nose is noticeably more aggressive, thanks largely to some new headlights largest and "stretched backwards" as the Peugeot 407, coupled with the already known "smile" of the new models of Peugeot .

But inside, gentlemen, things changed, and much. Where before there were cheap plastics and design are now past quality materials and a more typical of the new generation of French manufacturer. To begin with, the material that covers the dashboard is made of a plastic slightly padded and good touch, which is adjusted properly with the party gives the legs and outlets on the air (yes these areas that are manufactured in hard plastic ). The general appearance struck me as very convincing, like the instrument panel, which now has the warning lights just below the LCD display of audio equipment. Speaking of RADIOCD, I must say that Peugeot has returned to the same mistake as with the Peugeot 407, to include some controls too small to be operated quickly and comfortably well underway (at least until one gets used, as always happens). Moreover, the front seats seemed comfortable (though did not give the impression that the grip side will be very high) and places beyond habitability have a quite acceptable for a small vehicle. Possibly the only thing that reminds inside the "old" Peugeot 206 is the steering wheel, which has virtually the same way.

There is not much to add. Based on my brief experience with the Peugeot 207 , if I had to puntuan would give a 6 to 8 to external and internal. Peugeot has done a great job improving the perceived quality, but perhaps should have worked a little more in the design of the body, which is the first thing you will see people who are asome a concessionaire.
