Peugeot 407 Coupe

I was leaving Paris's Gare du Nord station last Friday night (09/07/05)
when I saw a gorgeous silver Peugeot 407 Coupe. At first I thought it
must be out in France and not yet in England, however after searching
the web it looks like it's not out even in France. I can only presume
this was a test car and that some sadist decided to see how it handled
Friday night rush hour traffic in Paris!!

I was so surprised to see this car (I was a passenger in another car
next to it) that I kept looking at it over my shoulder as we went past.
The passenger (a smartly dressed man) was staring at me, perhaps
thinking I was going to take some snaps or atleast that I knew he was
in something unusual.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures, but if you look here you can
see it:

(the one I saw was silver, registered and there was nothing obvious to
me that it wasn't a finalised production car - hence why I assumed the
model was released in France).

It does look quite similar to the old 406 coupe - the back is beautiful
and I thought it was a lovely looking car.

Looking forward to seeing it here when it's released.

Hi,

Nope, not released yet, should be late this year, IIRC.
I had the same shock when I saw the 206CC three months before its official
release, on the road near to my home. I even posted it here - little make-up
with the rollbar.
