[QUOTE="G.T"] The 407 has an excellent chassis, at least front train, the rear axle being took off a 406, *BUT* the Coupe has something too huge, hence a lack of elegance, and I miss the 406 Coupe, which was eeer so elegant and somewhat exciting, I guess. [/QUOTE] The problem with the 407 and most of the other Peugeots - and very many other cars made for the British market - is the unforgiving suspension they have nowadays. It might be fine for Western European roads, but ours just aren't like that any more. I have heard that some people have tried cars with the dampers set for Eastern Europe and found they are very much better suited to the average British road, maybe they ought to send them here. Lack of elegance is a very good description of the current Peugeot style as applied to the 407. A stylist friend of mine said many years ago that his worst enemy was the body designer who thought he could draw. Peugeot have found quite a few of these lately. The 406 Coupe was a beautiful looking car, but I thought the V6 one that I tried was just about the most disappointing car I have ever driven, probably because I was expecting too much. Most of the other Peugeots that I have driven have had that little bit extra to make them interesting for a driver capable of discovering it and you got the feeling that the car had enjoyed it too. Not so with the 406 Coupe. A great long-distance motorway car, yes; but try hurrying it down a twisty country road and it positively resents it, which no other Peugeot up until then in my experience ever did. And I've driven a few, starting with the 203. Ron Robinson
