i'm just guessing here - the 408 will evolve into a GT (grand touring) model something like a CLA or the CLS version of the A-Class or the whatever class the CLS is based on. where as, the 308 will have a brand new 308 sedan as per link below.

http://www.carnewschina.com/2013/12/30/spy...sting-in-china/

the old 308 hatch already has a sedan version sold in china as per link below (china only model, using same platform as 308 hatch - shorter version of the 408) and this new 308 sedan will replace that one and be a new world model.

http://www.peugeot.com.cn/html/car/308/

any other theories on how peugeot will segment those 2 cars?

Can anyone recommend a good tint / tint shop in Klang Valley?
I just placed booking 2 days ago for a 408 NA and wanna prepare for the "arrival". The SA recommended Solar Safe Ultimate for 1800. Any thoughts?

You driving 1.6T or NA?
To completely wind down the windows, you press once and wait it down until it stop. Now you press one more time, the windows should completely wind down. Hope this helps..

Thanks again.

I oso not sure. May it due to the tyres. I'm considering to change to 18 inch rims when my wallet permits.

Is the 1.6 Turbo suspension different from the 2.0 NA? My SA told both variance using different suspension.

Different. Turbo verson tend to be sporty and better handling.
NA tuned for more comfort

Not sure if can or not. But the suspension settings for NA and Turbo is definitely different. Turbo is harder. Plus if you use 18", your ride will be quite bumpy and a little bit more noisy. This is base on my personal experience and something for you to consider. Every bit of uneven road or small stones or small hole, you WILL FEEL it either from the steering or your butt. So now when i drive in road with bad condition, like kura-kura. Even kancil will tailgate me and overtake me. Hahahahahha. But when the road opens up................

If so... y dont u choose Turbo over NA at the first place? Lolx...
You can change all ur suspension, however it will cost a bomb. At the end ur NA is higher price than the Turbo. And I dount SC willing to do it for u, if you change it at other workshop, endup void ur warranty.
Not recommended.

Difference between NA and turbo is less than 20K. Many ppl did not realize what a steal this is. To reconfigure to the sporty suspension alone may cost 10K.

To completely reconfigure the NA to a turbo models with 6spd gb + all safety equipment would probably cost more than $70K ( wild guess )!

The NA is still a very good buy,especially with the present discounts. However potential buyers should carefully consider before singing on the dotted line.
