2011 Peugeot 508 First Image and Detail

Peugeot has revealed two clear pictures. The upcoming 508 sedan and SW (wagon) look much slicker and more upmarket than the 407. The all-new 2011 Peugeot 508, based on the “5 by Peugeot” concept which made its first appearance at March’s Geneva Motor Show and has been designed as the successor to both the outgoing 407 and 607 models.

The model will be built in sedan version and will be called GT and in SportWagon version.

The 508 measures 4.7m, which means that the car is around 25mm longer than the 407 saloon and 200mm shorter than the larger 607. The 4.81m estate version will be close to 50mm longer than the current 407 SW.

The 508 previews Peugeot’s new design language, highlighted by an Audi R8-style trapezoidal front grille, twin lion/text Peugeot badging system, wide-flanking headlamps and a broad shoulder-line running the length of the vehicle.

Looks pretty darn nice. Some Audi in the grill, but that isn't bad at all.

Its a good looking car but its a bit bland and generic especially to be a Peugeot they normally have very unique designs

Peugeots traditionally have very cat-like features, which I think makes for gorgeous styling. The 407 was a striking car in its day, as was the 406, and the 405 before it. This doesn't do the same for me, though, i must admit. It's nice looking, but doesn't bowl me over.

I like it. It's better than what Chrysler is offering now. They should bring it here and badge it as a Chrysler but let the Sebring name die finally.
