Peugeot 407 looks alright

When I was in Europe last week I saw this car the Peugeot 407. It kind of has a bit of an Acura look to it. What do you think about it?

I think it looks alright, for a Euro car. But ha, no way it looks like a Cirrus. My mom drives a Cirrus.

It looks like it has Acura RL wheels, an Aston Martin Vanquish front end, and Lexus ES headlights.

I had a 505 wagon....never again. I remember driving it pissed off once and i took it beyond the 3k rpm mark, i never made it to red line since the engine sounded like a dying horse.

I drove a diesel 407 sport wagon 6mt while in Spain last summer. The car pulled very well and was comfortable to take four of us, with a lot of luggage from Madrid to the Mediterranean. While the car pulled well from a start, it neither kept pulling that hard to red line (as is true for diesel engines) nor inspired great faith in the turns.

I really loved the seats, and so did my wife (we usually differ on seat comfort) and the steering wheel could be my favorite of any car I've driven.

The car is considered a great value in Europe, bringing lots of technology to an affordable price point (think slightly cheaper TSX).

The styling is subjective, but it really stands out when seen in person.

It does have a decent look but it looks nothing like an Acura in my opinion.

My uncle drives one in Fuzhou, China. It's pretty decent in-cabin. I think the headlights resemble of Toyota Camry.

On the 3rd pic of the 4 door, the front end's sharp lines make it look like a delorean imo.

Actually the 407 coupe is more to me like a bloated current Accord coupe.

Not too bad looking, but not something I would look at twice.
