Hello everyone. First of all, i like to thank you all for your support upon viewing and liking this video, and even subscribing to my channel I want to get a few things straight For those who asked why i didn't include road cars like the 205 T16, RCZ R, 504 Coupe, etc, well, i made a separate video just for that. Link is in the description of this video. Or if you're a lazy person, you can just click here instead th-cam.com/video/gtkN-6-K6fQ/w-d-xo.html And for those who asked why i didn't include other race cars like the WM88, 3008 DKR, etc, well, during the making of this video, i haven't consider making a slowed version of Little Dark Age so i can include more race cars. Matter of fact, i didn't even use the actual Little Dark Age song from MGMT, i instead used a Synth Remix to avoid copyright. Damn you youtube. Put it simply, the song duration isn't long enough for me to include multiple cars. And for those who said why is Peugeot here despite being a good brand, yes, i agree. Peugeot is still a good brand. In fact, they're a much better brand than they used to be a few years ago. But i see this "Little Dark Age" trend as a tribute back to their glory days where they used to rule in motorsport and rolled out sport variants for almost their entire line up. Don't get me wrong. Cars like the 208, 308, 508, and 3008 are still good cars. But you don't see GTi, STi, or Rallye variants anymore. Closest you'll get is a 225HP Hybrid of a 308 or a 360HP AWD Hybrid of a 508 PSE, which is ridiculous priced. Nonetheless, they're still a good brand. Well, that's all folks. Once again. Thank you for your support And i hope you have a good day Cheers 👋
They had a dark age in the mid 2000s till the mid 2010s but I think they're getting really good currently, I find almost all of their recent cars to be the most interesting in their category
It was a dark age in French automotive in overall I think - just look at Citroens back then in late 90's (Xsara an picasso line) and Renault throughout nearly whole first decade of XX century and how poor made were their cars (in terms of engineering ofc, I love their timeproof protection from rust)
@@miszlen00 I had a 2003 Megane, I'll never forget that car. Not quick, but gorgeous as hell. it was comfortable as a C class of the same generation, it had virtually the same equipment as an E class (automatic wipers, automatic lights, dualzone ac, cruise control, and I can just keep on going). Renault definitely didn't hsve a dark age back then
@@joshragland652 and lest we forget Peugeot did make some dead reliable cars since the 70s and their cool cred in the 80s too, looking back on their family saloons and hot hatches
my mom used to have a peugeot 306 stationcar when i was a kid honestly the worst car i've ever experianced, it did nothing but break down all the time and felt like a complete death trap when going above 120 kmh
Mine is an 89, and has been in the family since it was 3 old, it's seen 3 generations of my family now, still running on its original Tu3s engine, even after 30 years of near straight abuse.
I was just about to comment "wHat AbOut ThE 9X8 LeMAnS cAr" but you've included it in the video and i'm glad. Peugeot have fallen out of their tracks through the years with their production models but they are getting back. With the 307, 407 and 206 generations they didn't have any sport models. They did have the rcz which people claim it was a banger of a car but the TT was superior and more popular. They are on a good track nowadays. I hope they get back to what made them great. Great video.
I know. But given the fact that in the lastest generation, the only so called sport model is the 508 PSE Compare that to the olden days where you have endless of GTi and Rallye variants for each model like 106 Rallye, 205 GTi, 306 GTi, 405 T16, even something like a 505 Turbo
Peugeot is only just starting to get back in the groove. But it's good to see. I have an appreciation for the PSA group and I'd love to see them back as a power house.
I've got a 206 1.6 16v, the thing has been loyal since 2007. It survived floods, radiator fan failures/ overheating, never left me stranded or had any mayor issues, its been my daily since then. When the engine finally dies i may swap it for something more powerful tho
Had a 406 estate with 700k miles. Only reason that unit of a car is not on the road is because a twat on a country road which is really a 20mph bend that's narrow came round sideways at 60mph in a subaru and wrote it off. Sad day indeed
As a French and a Peugeot 207 owner, it breaks my heart to witness our car economy slowly dying and becoming a bunch of EV SUV. Citroën completely fucked after they discontinued the C3 II/C4 II/C5 II (these cars are beautiful imo), but of course I prefer the "X" Citroën (AX BX CX XM Xantia Xsara Saxo ZX etc.), but Citroën isn't the "bad guy" neither as they compete in WRC. For Renault, I like the Laguna and Mégane (particularly coupés of course) but "Qui roule en Renault revient à vélo" (whom leaves by Renault comes back on a bicycle) :-) And for Peugeot, they had their downfall with the "7" cars (107 207 307 407, which I love, 607 1007 4007) but they are still impressive. The 308 GTI is a hell of a beast, the 9X8 seems awesome, the 508 also.
I hope that their return to Le Mans with the hypercar will make them more of a motorsports-oriented brand, similarly to what Gazoo Racing has done for making Toyota cool again
And btw, I have a great solution to that problem. Take the Peugeot 508 PSE gasoline engine and pu it into the new 208, lower the suspension give it some nice wheels, better handling and here you go! It would be an instant hit : )
Envie you for the 106, I hope u use it and not just standing on some parkinglot^^. Had almost my Hands on one. But because of corona it took to long for the seller and he sold it to some one else 😢 (cage, seats, weel, suspension all registered) and I was ready to invest in an refreshment. Took a 206rc instet.

Personally as a French person I don’t think that Peugeot is in a dark age, in fact I love the redesign’s of the 208, 308, 508, 2008, 3008, 5008 with the new front headlights.The rear is basically the same as the 2016 line
Why only show sports car or fast cars? Car brand aren't just sports vehicles, except for brand like ferrari, there are other aspects that can make a brand/car amazing and memorable and is really annoying that they get overlooked for "gotta go fast brr".
You clearly haven't seen the cars they recently put out. Especially the 9X8 that they're gonna race in the WEC. Those previous designs were a like a phase and they've grown out of it
The Peugeot E legend cincept wasn't bad,I would have bought it even if it was only avaliable in full electric version,would have liked a hybrid more but they haven't made it...at all.Such a shame
Dark age start during the 2000's and it end up with the 208 and 308 II, now they are at their best with those gorgeous car and pse lineup ( I know 308 and 208 pse got cancelled)
I think their new cars look so so cool. the last 15 years or so of peugeots have been hateful, ugly little cars but I absolutely love the way the new 208 looks

Could someone explain to me why Peugeot has fallen off so much this past decade? Like I know I can Google it but I want a firm answer by a fellow TH-cam user. I just really love the brand but can’t really go with it, because everyone trashes on it… 💔
Reliability issues. Specifically the 2000-2010s model. Anything made from 2020s is actually decent. Anything made from 1980s-1990s is.....well if its unreliable, its forgiven, because its already old
I have a Peugeot 308 mk1 I've been wanting to upgrade to a new one but damn bruv the mk1's front looks like a fighter jet and the newer ones are ones of the most bland npc cars I've seen. The 508 is cool tho
I think peugeots dark age was the 90s-2010 period cause their cars were known as very unreliable. I had one myself and it was more in the repair shop then on the streets. I know many people who had peugeots and always had problems with them. Here in our area the peugeot dealerships closed one by one and were taken over by Renault or other brands. Nowadays they seem to be quiet good tho and also their design looks decent. The last 20 years the cars looked hideous.
I like Peugeot nowadays, I just hate what they've done to their badge, worst rebadging ever. Ughr. The prior lion from the side was so simple and elegant, and now the crest? Look fucking hideous, like some amateur fanart.
