this is great! everybody can make this facelift on his own 407 just by sticking some plastic-chrome bars to the front grille! awesome idea IMO :D

contrary to most peugeot cars, the 407 has gotten old before the time, the rear bumper isnt well integrated and they seem to have increased the height?? summing up, a flop

It's not as elegant and timeless as the beautiful 406, but it has a very nice interior... squishy french luxury... mmmm cosseting : )

The 407 was not a good design so they didn't even bother to fit the new face of 308 and 207 onto it. Very poor facelift effort for a slow-selling and average car. Considering Citroen C5's size and looks, the French car of choice is quite easily C5. New Laguna looks horrible on the road and most probably we will get used to it in 6 months time...

the rear lights on the sedan looks awful and the new c5 is ALOT better looking than this and the new laguna...

No, is C5 and Mondeo design is worst way to do cars. That one still not much better. Working-class-hero's car.

The photos aren't the best but I bet it's still the same angry looking machine on the road. Besides being a 4 year old design it's still better and fresher looking than most, even newer cars. The 407 fit just as it were perfectly into the Peugeot-lineup so the minor to non-existent midlife facelift isn't really a surprise.

407.. The mistake of your life! absolutely useless. built out of tin foil and blu tac. a brilliant engine surrounded by inferior quality crud. made to disin tigrate and visit garage on a weekly basis. never ever again

I am very attracted by Peugeot sedans,especially the 407.
She's the worthy descendant of Peugeot 404,the biggest masterpiece of Peugeot's history. The 407's forte is great stability,in fact she can cruise safer than some Mercedes and BMW on Autobahn under rainy,snowy,or gusty conditions. Her geometry is quite well-thought,in combination with good brakes,she feels almost on the rail while cruising.
On the other hand,I feel sorry about several quality problems in the Peugeot 407,from engine management system to fit-and-finish defects,especially seen in the examples made in early eras. But I do hope such defects will be improved in the newest version.
Albeit the 407 sedan has several shortcomings in ergonomics,as poor visibility owing to steep pillars and not so wide back seats,she is quite well-engineered automobile armed with supple ride,predictable handling,and flexible engines. The V6 variants of 407 series,either turbo diesel 2.7-litres or gasoline 3.0-litres,are able to cruise at maximum speed up to 155mph=250km/h(manufacturer data is 230km/h),up to today's standard,but fuel consumption of these V6s is barely average and inferior to BMW,Audi,and Mercedes units of similar displacement.
So the brand-new 3.0-litres V6 turbo diesel unit(developed under collaboration with Jaguar) is a leap-forward from previous units,and new diesel-powered 407 Coupe 3.0 V6 is the very Peugeot suitable for American market,if this brand do comeback to USA!
