It’s July so we have several boring Peugeots called after this month.
Meet the 307, which replaced the 306 in 2001 and was followed by the 308 in 2008. Except in China where they still make the 307.
Standard five door hatchback, choice of 1.4, 1.6 or 2 litre engine sizes, all of them available in both petrol and diesel variants.
The standard car is an amorphous blob so here’s the CC with its folding steel roof, very much a thing in the Noughties and less so now because weight = too much CO2.
The South Americans preferred three box cars so they got one just for them. Meet the Argentinian built 307 four door, the existence of which was unknown to me until five minutes ago.

Possibly the height of the Peugeot malaise era.

Thank God I live in the United States so that this shit is on a different continent. Stay away Peugeot- we have Toyota for our beige mobiles.

South America, and still a thousand or two miles away. It's a bullshit rule, NA and SA, but technically it applies

We get Toyotas as well. Peugeot easily outsells Toyota though, because people prefer them. Besides, while Peugeot had a beige decade early this century (see the 307 above) it was interesting before and has become interesting since. Unlike Toyota.

We should get Citroen in America for our quirky French cars. Also, hot hatches
