The Paris motor show doesn"t happen until September, yet we"re already being shown one of its debutants. It"s a Peugeot estate car. But before you sneak away, know that it"s a Peugeot estate car like no other. Just look at it. Whether you"re a fan or not, you can"t deny the 508 SW is a punchy piece of design, and yet another bold Peugeot worth celebrating. Wind back ten years and the company wasn"t making much to excite the enthusiast, yet now produces two of the most boisterous hot hatches on sale, a fine SUV and some genuinely interesting normal" cars. Indeed, with the new 508 saloon being quite styled, it"s no surprise the estate has followed suit. Peugeot cites shooting brakes as the design influence, and it sits much lower than the old 508 SW. There are loads of fancy design cues, not least its frameless windows. Subaru die-hards mourning the loss of those in the Legacy may have a new estate car of choice.
