"French Copper" is an Excellent Sounding Term

Aside, I would love to see oxidized copper used (sparingly) as interior trim. I know we will end up saying “pew-gee-ought” over here in the US at first which turns this concept into the Pidgeot Onix from Pokemon French Copper . We’ll eventually end up saying Peugeot fairly well just to annoy Porsche and Jaguar. On another note, I loved the Peugeot Exalt’s EPIC use of wood!

Opel and Peugeot are going to be a nice design pairing.

I saw the Onyx about two years after it debuted, almost no un-oxidized copper remained, but it was still very cool to see.

I hope Peugeot can make Opels a bit less boring to look at, in a similar way as Peugeot turned around its own look in the past 5 years.

Interesting that they have oxidized the copper body panels of Onyx. Usually concept cars are just stored as they were originally displayed.

Lol “pew-gee-ought”? Never have I heard an American say that. They are all “poo-shows”.

That’s what sets it apart. They added time as a design element, it’s fantastic.

I really like how they used real copper and not just painted/wrapped it copper.

Until some one steals your bumper to sell it for scrap!
