Hahaha, sorry and thanks.

Yeah i guess so. Must be the credibility of the brand and also the design. Not many can accept the design especially the rear. Quite different from other conti's like VW. Even i cant.

in singapore, P408 is selling at $151,800 (turbo, don't think the 2.0 NA is available) above Volkswagen Jetta selling from : $143,800 and the popular Toyota Corolla Altis$133,988, Honda Civic from $141,900, Nissan Sylphy from $120,800, Ford Focus from $137,888 and Mazda 3 from $135,988.... almost the price of Nissan Qashqai from $153,800

Now if you are a Singaporean, and not as lucky as Malaysian in term having such good pricing, what would u do?

You can check historical pricing from a year or 2 back. C segment cars used to be a lot cheaper than what it is now. If I was Singaporean, I would either go for D segment or luxury or 2nd hand based on that sort of pricing. Also, even if I were to buy new, why would I take a P408 over a VW Jetta? It doesn't even need to be VW, there are so many other marques in the same pricing category which are easily (subjectively) better. But that doesn't change the fact that Malaysia is still the only ASEAN country that I know of which Peugeot is selling well, everywhere else such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore, you hardly see any of these cars on the road.

Pricing is a factor, but I think it's also the brand. Somehow it just isn't as widely accepted elsewhere compared to its rivals.

I don't even know that P408 available at SG...

I've only seen 4 Peugeot cars over 5 days.

1st: 3008 along Orchard Road
2nd: 308T parked in a shopping lot
3rd: 408T also parked in a shopping lot
4th: 508 but it was further up the PIE highway.

For the record, I also haven't seen any VW Polo while I was there last weekend. The most commonly seen car was actually the VW Jetta and a few Tourans. Didn't come across any Golf or Golf GTI either but there were quite a few Sciroccos and 1 new VW Beetle. All the Passat I saw were actually from Malaysia, lol!

wow, i didn't know singapore had the 408. just had a look at peugeot singapore website and found that the car is sold there but they got all the pictures jumbled up mixing the south american model with the different nose logo with the local, malaysian sourced model. and they don't hv the 2.0 over there.

as for vw, i did see quite a few polo earlier this year but none of them were the 1.2 turbo. all were the n/a. i think they launched the turbo later. golf i saw many. i went during cny earlier this year.

Added on November 28, 2012, 11:57 amthis is how i knew they sold it there just today. very funny. no news of its launch too. normally nasim will issue a press release saying which country has launched the malaysian sourced 408 like they did for thailand before.

its very femes at perak

For Singapore 408T:
6-Speed TipTronic Auto Transmission with Paddle Shifts

Why we don't get them here???

I would take power seats with memory anytime over paddle shifters. The dual memory function on the Optima 8 way power seats are a real plus. Makes things so much easier especially when you have someone else driving your car often enough (e.g spouse).

they have that on conti since dunno how long ago

could it be a typo? hmmm, maybe someone could drop the singaporean team an e-mail seeking clarification.

THP version not suitable at our country, so hot. I'll take 2.0. Easy to maintenance.

Doubtful la, how much they pay vs how much you pay? Plus they buying in SGD which is 2.45times our currency. It's only natural if they have more gadgets and features etc.

Oh btw, I've only seen 1 KIA K5 Optima on the streets of SG and if I recall, it was actually a servicing car. KIA Fortes are much more popular, the new K5? No show to watch over there.

Plan to change fabric to leather for 408 2.0 ?

Newton Leather Industries Sdn. Bhd is offering RM2,450 for 408 model. Promotion until 15th December 2012.

You may call Ms. Loo 016-210 2502

http://www.newtonleather.com/

or is there any better offer ?

i just spoke to my friend again and it was confirmed that the spec in singapore and thailand is same as malaysia. i will call those singaporeans shortly too!!

latest update.

i just spoke to 'kelly' of autofrance singapore who confirmed the same spec as here and confirmed, NO paddle shifters for singapore. it was a mistake but they take ages to reply their fb (till now they havent replied my query yet). at least peugeot malaysia is fast in replying.

Sure call up the showroom over there to find out, it's good info to know but I don't see any point in doing so since nobody here is going to buy a Singapore spec Peugeot.

nolah, just want to make sure that we aren't short changed on specs for a malaysian assembled car. but it has been confirmed that it is same already.

anione cruising this car at 180km/h to 200km/h for a long time?
like from melaka going to JB...
just wana make sure whether the turbo can handle for this long period?
