A review of the Peugeot 3008 crossover SUV has been posted over at PaulTan. 'The 3008 is yet another model spawned from PSA's Platform 2 that also underpins among others, the 308 family, the RCZ, 5008 MPV and the Citroen C4 range. The double zero in the name represents an extension of the classic Peugeot range, a new type of vehicle beyond the traditional supermini, C-segment hatchback and D-segment saloon types. Upon first glance, the 3008 appears compact and less chunky than a CR-V. It's actually 200 mm shorter than the Honda and lower too, but the Peugeot's 2,613 mm wheelbase is just a fraction short of the CR-V's 2,620 mm. The 3008's footprint actually sits in the middle of the 308 hatchback and the seven-seater 308 SW. Think of it as a higher riding 308 with more space and a bigger boot and you're not far off.'

A review of the Peugeot RCZ GT THP 156 has been posted over at the Sunday Mercury. 'The ride was solid but not uncomfortable and for the most part very quiet - although there was a little road noise on the diesel I drove, which was sporting 18-inch alloys from the Sport trim level as opposed to the 19-inch ones my petrol drive benefitted from in the higher spec GT trim. The cabin was spacious and comfortable with high quality materials throughout and an easily reached accessibly designed dash and console set off by a stylish centre-mounted analogue clock.'

PaulTan have published their "test driven" report of the Peugeot RCZ roadster. 'Just like the concept car, the road going RCZ's stylistic highlight is the race inspired double bubble roof. It's already relatively complicated and a hassle to produce compared to a standard tin top, but the roof curves extend into the rear glass, which is quite a feat for a mass produced car. The RCZ is contract manufactured by Magna Steyr in Austria, which is used to making complicated things work - they're the people responsible for the Mercedes SLS AMG's gullwing doors and also build the Aston Martin Rapide, so the RCZ is in good hands.'

The Motor Report have published a review of the 2009 Peugeot 308 CCS. 'Roof up, the 308 CC can look a little abrupt - truncated - in profile. The flowing line the rises from the bonnet, into the A-pillars and then into the roof, ends a little sharply at the midway point. The end result is not entirely resolved. Drop the top however and the proportions change entirely. Roof down, the CC's gently sloped boot lid not only hides the folding hard top beneath it but also adds balance to the rear.'

The Independent have published a review of the Peugeot 5008 MPV. 'There's no giant windscreen extending into the roof, no futuristic facia, no steering wheel with stationary, switch-bearing hub. All is normal, and very neat with conventional chrome-rimmed dials and some lush padding enlivened by metal highlights, and a strong aura of quality. The sole real innovation is the head-up display as already seen in the 3008, a clear concave plastic panel which rises out of the instrument cowling and on which is projected a digital speedometer and, if desired, sat-nav instructions and a radar-activated warning of when you are too close to the car in front to be able to stop safely.'
