Don't know la, maybe it's just me. I like the "misai" design on 308 more haha.

Last Night, I was at Juru AutoCity.....

Went to Peugeot Showroom, & saw 3 408, ready for viewing... laugh.gif

Basically looks like a "308" sedan...

Interior also the same...

Exterior wise, 308 look more fierce & nicer....

Took a comparison pic too... smile.gif

Still no indication on the pricing yet. But rumor has it, it's around 130k. I did find things funny though in the brochure. Combined fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km vs 7.1L/100km on the 508. Same engine, same gearbox, weights similar to the 508, but higher FC. 508's FC has been over-exaggerated I guess.

Too bad the 2.0L model is still running on dinosaur 4-speeder gearbox, else it'd be a better choice in terms of reliability

Last night I peeked through the window of the car.... the at the Turbo models gear lever, got sticker... AT6...

Six speeder... laugh.gif

comparing the 408 and a 308 is like comparing the myvi with altis - two different vehicles sizes and weight. you should be comparing the 408 with the other c segment in its class
*
Oh C'mon....

Seriuosly funny joke...

408 is basically a Sedan Version of 308....

Seriously.... Myvi & Altis.... ROFL...

contrary to popular belief, the 408 is NOT a 308 with a boot. both cars have different wheel base. FYI there is a 308 Sedan (sharing the same wheelbase with the 308 hatch) but its not in our market.
*
Ooh... Both look almost the same... laugh.gif

@kejusan: Defensive driving only helps you so much when someone else brings you into a dangerous situation. Or you fall asleep at the wheel and when waking up have to make a quick evasive maneuver. That's when you'll be glad to have ESP. Of course you shouldn't drive so that you'll constantly use ESP.

Yup... I appreciate the ESP advantage....

Happened to me, when i'm driving my father Sorento....

Was driving fast at the Jeli-Grik road....

Tried to take a corner at around 130 km/h (over confidence laugh.gif )

when i take the corner, i felt it is too fast.... then the traction control light turned on...

I felt the reduction in speed.... look at speedo, the speed was 90 km/h....

seriously brilliant tech.....
