I really wish we got this car in the states, along with the rest of the Peugeot lineup. Stellantis really needs a new manufacturer in the US to replace the ailing Fiat, and Peugeot has exactly the lineup that would appeal to American buyers
How comes none of previous reviewers never brought up the issue of the gearbox? Its like some Brit reviewers desperately want Peugeot to fail in this segment.
I have never been a fan of Peugeot until i saw this the other day. It definitely caught my eye. Would i buy one? No probably not and shame about the gearbox
Astonishing. I always loved my Peugeot 406 3 litre V6 estate. That was almost as fast as my E34 BMW M5, although I would never have admitted it at the time of course. Thanks for the review. I have added the car to my 'maybe have a look' list.
@@pigeonpoo1823 I did buy the DVD after I realised both cars were in it! Interestingly, the crashed M5 in the film was a 535i dressed up to look like an M5 so I have read.
@@moviebod I've heard that too. I still wet my pants every time I see De Niro do that 270 in the Pug and the American go 'I gaaaat it' then slides the 'Ordi' S8.
Worst Peugeot fail EVER. OVERPRICED , a RIDICOLOUS thp 1.6lt 200hp , and infact i NEVER EVER SAW one of these on roads. What a shame omg , a true pity , the design is absolutely fantastic !

The 508 is not available in mexico or latin america
@@someonecalledeulogio2280 it should be tho. That was my point
1:03 - Ben mistakenly calls the car a 908, lol and not a 508 SW 😅 who didn't spot that goof.

Nice review. Great looking car, I'd certainly be happy to own one of these. Likely to become quite a rare model in the future.

All they needed to do is have a 2L turbo, or a V6 and a manual gearbox. That's it.
this and the kia stinger gt could be very indirect compeditors

Did Ronin copy you or vice versa?

What mode were you driving on, when you were complaining about the gearbox?
The only reason to buy one in the UK is as a company car. Without those tax breaks this would be as popular as a Lineker tweet in a BBC board room
It looks great but for that amount of money, I'd take the m340i touring. Why? The inline 6 roar.
Peugeot and Alpine (ahem, Renault) are on absolute top form at the moment
Wait, did you just say that's the "Peugeot 908 SW"?? Does it have a V12 too?? XD
great design
You don't have this gear problems with the 508 gt 225hp hybride
They’ve still havent given up the bonkers dash design. Naah, I’d rather drive the 1988 drift-king, 180hp Peugeot 505 TurboInjection.
what about the sunbeam 2.2 the Avon one wash the quickest of the lot and was the first as far as I remember
Nice car. And a rare one.
Too bad no cars like these in North America.
You could still import it but that's gonna cost you
Alpine 110: 👁️🚘👁️
I get KIA vibes. EV6 GT is pretty neat, but Korean/German. With perhaps Croatian drivetrain.
This generation 508 came before EV6 🙄 🤦
@@jxxxxx44 And its development began in 2010, they took 7 years to design.
What's the bhp per ton?

Looks like a Civic

Le... I dont think so..cringe...
They never went away... brands ebb and flow and Peugeot are no different.
