The 508 has always been a missed opportunity for PSA. Its a great looking car especially in Estate form. Seems well made, and probably is.

But its never had an appealing powertrain. Dropping the 1.6 petrol to be replaced by a 3 pot 1.2 does not help! Why were manuals only available on diesels? Why hinder the upper spec models with ugly kid glass and over sized wheels

I fail to see why a manufacturer wouldnt let people spec what they wanted. I suspect there was a decent car in the 508 somewhere but they have never offered it. When the 405 and 406 were so great its a shame.

I wonder if PSA have contacted Toyota asking what's the secret to selling-non German saloons like their Camry in such large numbers to the UK public?

Just to show how bad their marketing dept is, I've seen more Camry's on the road than I have 508's.

You are underestimating the number of French haters.

£33k for something like a GT Premium and you still only end up with a petrol 1.2 3 pot at best. Nahh
