Don’t be deceived by the fat that this car only looks like a regular 308, because it’s actually a new generation in the same segment that the French automaker is testing. But why would Peugeot follow the 308 that’s currently on the market with the 309?
Well, the rumor has it that they don’t want to bring back emotions stirred up by the 309 name that was synonymous with pour quality until it was dropped from European production in 1993. So hopeful, the 301 will be presented as a fresh start for the manufacturer.
The photos show the first sighting of a 301 test mule. Like the new 208, it’s expected the French will build a much lighter and more nimble car than its predecessor. When it arrives on the market in 2013, the 301 will offer a number of three-cylinder engines an even the diesel-electric hybrid powerplant.
