Geneva Gallery: Five By Peugeot Concept

by Edward Niedermeyer

Published: March 3rd, 2010

When Jaguar’s new XJ hit the car show circuit, many found themselves remarking that the latest big cat bears more than a striking resemblance to the Citroen design language. No surprise then, that Citroen’s sister brand has built a concept version of a forthcoming midsized sedan that bears a number of similar styling cues. Thanks to Ian Callum’s adventurous experiment, the Five by Peugeot Concept can almost be compared to an XJ, which is more than can be said for any American-market midsize sedan. Perhaps we could still learn a thing or two from the French.

What an amazing feat, they managed to crib the current Maxima and previous-gen Maxima all in one vehicle.

They can't sell this as a Peugeot , it deserves a more up-market brand-name. I can't be the only person who still wonders if the new XJ looks as questionable in the metal as it does in photos.The middle is OK , but the front isn't right and the back is indescribable.

ToolGuy Why would they change the grille?
Oberkanone Nissan proved it can skillfully put new frosting on an old cake with Frontier and Z. Yet, Nissan dealers are so broken they are not good at selling the Frontier. Z production is so minimal I've yet to see one. Could Nissan boost sales? Sure. I've heard Nissan plans to regain share at the low end of the market. Kicks, Versa and lower priced trims of their mainstream SUV's. I just don't see dealerships being motivated to support this effort. Nissan is just about as exciting and compelling as a CVT.
ToolGuy Anyone who knows, is this the (preliminary) work of the Ford Skunk Works?
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I will drive my Frontier into the ground, but for a daily, I'd go with a perfectly fine Versa SR or Mazda3.
Zerofoo The green arguments for EVs here are interesting...lithium, cobalt and nickel mines are some of the most polluting things on this planet - even more so when they are operated in 3rd world countries.
