norcal505 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 The all-new Peugeot 4007 SUV, has just debuted in france. It also has debuted in france as the Citroen CX SUV. It also has debuted in america, as the all new Mitsubishi Outlander. I have heard that there will be conversion kits in the US, to turn the car into Peugeots, (cosmetically). It's a very similar story as the GM trucks. For example, many people got conversion kits to turn there Chevy Tahoes into Cadillac Escalades. This car is exactly the same as the Peugeot from the exterior, except for the front grill and headlamps. This is the first Peugeot to have a clone sold in the U.S. Peugeot 4007 Mitsubishi Outlander Citroen C-Cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first peugeot to be manufactured in Japan, along side the new Mitsubishi Outlander and Citroen C8 I mean japan?? At least Iran makes peugeots too, but japan?? that just takes away the whole european niche of the brand. A similar story would be the all new Volvo XC90 and S80. Though they are both Swedish cars, their optional V8 engines are produced in Japan, by Yamaha Motor CO. Very sad in deed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, infact it's just a Mitsubishu with a lion on the front. Since years I think it's a pity that all cars are going to look the same. But I understand that in America one can buy a car and afterwards choose the brand? Even worse is my opinion. Long live globalisation!

Long live globalisation! I know what you mean brown. I have a feeling that this car is going to have trouble selling with Europeans, who know their cars. This is a Peugeot to be manufactured in Okazaki, Japan. Japan?? Japan!! God this current president of PSA must be extreemly greedy, to accept the first venture offer that comes to him !!

I agree completely. I understand it a bit, times are hard for PSA being a small company on the car market. A lot of european brands are part of GM and Ford. But I think europeans will rather choose a Landrover, BMW or a Japanese brand when they're looking for a 4X4 family car instead of a Peugeot. The new 07 series of Peugeot have hardly anything 'Peugeotish'. The looks are still a bit Peugeot, although I don't really like them with their big sharkjaws. They have changed the famous and comfortable Peugeot suspension for German ones. The 307 for example is built on a Volkswagen Golf base. I drove one when my 306 was in the garage for repairs. At first I was happy to try this new Peugeot, but it lost a lot of comfort on bad roads in comparison to the 306. Luckily at Citroen (the other PSA company) they kept their famous and fabulous air suspension. Have there been Citroens in the US or are they still available? By the way, Not long ago I spotted an american model 405 here in Holland. Somebody told me this was probably one of a shipment of 200 cars which was rejected in the USA because of new road regulations. That's why they were sold in Europe. He told me this was the end of export to America. Is this true? Haven't there been any new Peugeot since 15 years in the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 They stopped selling Peugeots in 1992. They stopped selling Citroens in 1985. Very sad. VERY scarce supply of Peugeot parts. The Last models sold in america were, 505, 405, Liberte, 604, and RARELY 205. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSB Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 If it's built in Japan then it's a Mitisubshi rebadged as a Peugeot/Citroen. Not really unusual however as the Saab SUV is a Subaru Forester, the early Honda Pilot is a Isuzu, and as I recall the original Jeep Cherokee was actually a Renault built under license by Chrysler (as was the AMC Alliance/Renault). I always thought if I had a Cherokee I'd rebadge it as a Renault and so maybe now rebadge the Outlander as a Peugeot !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Guess what everyone, the new variation of the 4007 was just recently featured in the ghetto car lifestyles magazince "DUB" for its cool appeal, and mostly, 20" Chrome Rims. LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
