I just do not get Peugeot's obsession with ever bigger air intakes - the 107 up there looks ridiculous.

No facelift for the Aygo, just the french cousins. The C1 is adorable.

I have one of these C1's as a company car, the Code version, and I love it! It's such a hoot to drive and gives great MPG.

Saying that there has been a couple of cool versions never to make production, the C1 P1nk and C1 GT. Both were fancy one off's. Pity....

The Peugeot looks like an American Footballer, with that mouth piece thing to protect his expensive teeth.

I prefer the new C1 to the old one, but the Peugeot is just plain ugly.

The last good looking car Peugeot made was the 205.. Besides that, i'm not really a fan.. :/

I thought the 406 coupe was actually a genuinely beautiful car
http://images.drive.com.au/drive_images/Editorial/2006/05/29/29peug1M_m.jpg

The 306 was nice too, as is the little 106 I drive even if that is just a slightly updated 205.

The first thing my mind thought of the Citroen was that Daewoo/Chevy thing that looks similar...the 107 appears to be an attempt to make the cutesy old version more appealing to the halfords lad audience the saxo/106 had by making it more agressive but just fails as it now looks like a 107 thats lost a fight.

Now I see what that 107 reminds me of!

http://pic.phyrefile.com/a/an/anonymous/2008/11/05/Jeremy_Clarkson.jpg

Kinda makes sense...

But I do like the new C1. It looks kinda retro with a slight touch of exclusivity. Neat!

Agreed - it makes the 407 Coupe even more of a travesty. What Peugeot are thinking is beyond me.

thirded. People don't seem to understand just how immensely pretty that car is. it's like Ferrari for cheap (looks wise, anyway)

A respectfully deserved "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING" to Peugeot for the abomination that is the 407 coupe
