Here’s the facelift one, almost like a mini 508:
Here in Chile it’s been quite a huge sucess along side the C-Elyseé sister car as cabbies. It’s one of the cheapest cars with ESP and it’s very reliable like the older Peugeot’s.

This is the most car looking car I’ve ever seen.

It’s what the tag says, a Peugeot 301. That particular one is from automobile.tn which despite being in French is Tunisia.
In short, it’s a developing markets car.

Yes, it’s definitely a car.

You obviously like three box cars there too!

Sadly yes, 9 out of the 10 best selling cars have a three box option and if you count total car sales there are 3 pick up’s in the top 10. It’s a very american taste, only with smaller cars.

Boring as it may be, it still looks better than the C-Elyseé!
