While GTi versions of the 206 and 207 couldn’t live up to the reputation of the classic 205, this latest hot hatch from Peugeot delivers great performance in a surprisingly grown-up package.
The Peugeot 208 is a supermini ( B-segment in Europe ) produced by the French automaker Peugeot , and unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012. The first 208 models were three door hatchbacks produced in 2011, at the company's new plant in Slovakia .
