3008 marks a return to form for Peugeot

LET’S start this week with a little quiz. When last do you remember a new Peugeot that was a nailed-on classic? By my reckoning it was the 1980s, when the French manufacturer unleashed on the world the phenom which became the 205 and 205 GTi. Since then, well, not a lot.
Run down through the various model ranges since. There was stuff like the 206, 207 and 208. Anything there? Er, no. Then there was the likes of the 306, 307 and 308? Or such as the 406, 407 or 508? Or even greats like the 3008, the 607, the 807 or the 5008?
