Appear familiar? It should, so long as you have been scoping away car show coverage through overseas. The 2011 Peugeot 508 is the very first manufacturing Peugeot to use the brand's brand new design language, however the appear was introduced on both the 5 by Peugeot concept from the 2010 Geneva Car Show, along with the slinky SR1 conceptual roadster.
It is an improvement more than Peugeot's outgoing style language, which appeared hell-bent on including a crazy, gaping grille and also headlamps that extended from the fenders to the A-pillars. Instead, the 508 wears a clean, chiseled appear -- though all of us wonder if the whole look is really a touch too sedate.

While it is made to substitute Peugeot's former flagship, the 607 sedan, the automobile is actually based on the platform used in the smaller Citroen C5 and also the outgoing 407. Looking at the specifications, the 607 is roughly 10 millimeters longer than the 407, yet 20 millimeters shy of the 607. Go figure.
Apart from dimensions, Peugeot's not releasing much concrete data surrounding the 508. We would expect a range of gasoline and also diesel-powered motors to be offered, and also Peugeot says a brand new start/stop program will be combined with the diesels to help increase gasoline economy by as much as 15 percent. Energy misers may wish to postpone for a hybrid design due in 2012, which will reportedly offer both TWO HUNDRED horse power and also all-wheel-drive.
