Note blocks in front of the front wheels, they were apparently afraid of a handbrake failure. Note model. Poor her. She looked so unhappy there, angry face and all, being ultra unattractive. I stayed around the car for about ten minutes. At one moment a Chinese photographer just asked her get lost, and she did, walking off stage. I found that kinda cruel, but such is life!

Dash is hip with an instrument panel located high up, a mid-sized touch screen, and a busy center tunnel with a clearly marked, in red!, cigarette lighter.

Probably the best looking Peugeot since ages.
