Yes the 408 is here. I was looking to get a used 407, but as soon as I got wind of the 408 and that too at $110k, just couldn't wait to see it in real life. Come launch day I was the early bird googling the 408 as if it was my prise calf.  You know what? I actually got disappointed. The car looked like a pumped up Vios. Man....that was a major setback for me,it was no where near the sleek  looks of the 407. However locked my disappointed emotions and took the turbo for a spin. This is when the smile came back to my face. The power,handling and feel were amazing. The 407 has very good handling, but with this car, Peugeot has raised the bar. The feedback by electro hydraulic steering is so precise, and has been tuned to the right tautness. There's heck of power ready at the tap to kick serious ass! The car is packed with various safety features which is important when you unleash those wild horses. I'm sold, the 407 may be a great looker,but the 408 takes you to another dimension in driving dynamics!Made my booking for the turbo today!

If you're using the turbo as the benchmark, you'll find the 2.0 to be severely underpowered. If compared against other 2.0 NA, I find the engine to have sufficient pulling power. This issue is most obvious at 0-60kph but once you hit cruising speed, mid to high range power is as good. The only thing I didn't like about the 2.0 is the super light steering which is great in city drives but not so good if you're speeding on winding roads since road feedback is poor and the accurate steering means you have to constantly pay attention to your car's angle. For an old man like me who no longer have the need for speed, I think the 2.0 is a good buy for the asking price. Most important is the fact that you'll NEVER have depollution problems with it.

Poison...

Is the FC for turbo really good? I believe the maintenance cost for turbo and 6 speed gearbox is high.
