Peugeot lets the sunshine in at 2009 Melbourne Motor Show
5 February 2009 · posted by Staff
Peugeot will confirm its position as the pioneer of coupé
convertibles when it is the only maker with two different CC models at
the Melbourne Motor Show this year.
It will display both the 207CC and the soon-to-be-released 308CC at
Australia’s only major motor show for 2009, which runs from 27 February
to 9 March at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
Due to go on sale in Australia later this year, the 308CC promises to
be a unique and attractive offer for enthusiasts of lifestyle motoring.
With four full-size seats, the 308CC capitalises on all the inbuilt
strengths of the 308 range whilst embodying the 307CC spirit and
Peugeot’s coupé cabriolet expertise.
Among the special features of the 308CC is a warm air system in the
front seats, which acts as a scarf by diffusing warm air around the
occupant’s shoulders and neck, adjustable for temperature, flow and
direction.
Peugeot pioneered the concept of “folding roof cars” way back in the
1930s with its elegant 401, 601 and 402 “Eclipse” models, and it revived
the concept for the 21st century with the hugely popular 206 CC.
The 308CC is the latest of the Peugeot coupé cabriolets which have
led the trend away from soft-tops to the comfort and security of metal
folding roofs in affordable four-seat convertibles.
It is scheduled for a mid-year launch on the Australian market to
replace the successful 307CC and complete the 308 range of hatches and
Touring wagons.
Melbourne International Motor Show runs from 27 February to 9 March
at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and is organised and promoted by the
Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce through its dealer division the
Australian Automobile Dealers Association (Vic).
