The new Peugeot 108, sister car to the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo, will be launched in Ireland in January, from €13,290, plus dealer delivery charge, for a 1.0-litre, five-door Active petrol model.

French car maker Peugeot was on the verge of issuing a recall today as some of its vehicles are made on the same production line as Toyota, a spokesman said.
