Given the massive success of the whole folding hardtop coupe-cabriolet movement (originally started by Mercedes with their SLK then) made affordable by Peugeot with their 206 CC its begs the question, will there be a 208 CC? 

There is no doubt that the 208 is a great small car thanks to it's reduced size and weight making for a much more spirited drive. Considering that folding metal roof mechanisms are not only complicated but very heavy it makes us wonder whether Peugeot would risk the reputation of the 208. Also an insider has mentioned to us that the 208's body may be too small to comfortably accommodate the complex roof.

Either way, thanks to Theo we have these two images of what the 208 CC could look like, if it does make it to showrooms it should turn heads just like Peugeot's other CCs.

Suzuki is world famous for its hatchbacks and four-wheel-drive models, not forgetting their motorbikes. When it was revealed that a large saloon was on the cards there was a lot of doubt over what the outcome would be. The Kizashi arrived in early 2012 and was designed with the American market in mind, we get behind the wheel to find out if this curious creation can live up to the origins of its name which in English translates to "a sign of great things to come"

Do you find the BMW X3 a little too common or the Audi Q3 too pretentious? If so then this Scandinavian beauty could be worth a look. Its Volvo’s second and probably best looking SUV yet; the XC60. But is it any good?

Monday 18th June 2012 was a very important day for the Peugeot UK Public Relations team; it was the first of a five day launch of their brand new 208 ‘B’ (Supermini) segment car. At first glance you could be fooled into thinking that the 208 is a subtle evolution of the previous 207 but as the launch progressed it was easy to see that Peugeot is pinning a lot on their new model.
