308

Peugeot GT

By Sam Ayres
Peugeot ’ s new range of vehicles is what I like to call “ eye candy ” . This is amplified by the GT-Line packages that are available options on these vehicles . You get the sporty look and feel but without the “ vroom – vroom ” and inherently worse fuel economy . This rings true with the young and hip 208 GT-Line , but also the more refined 308 GT-Line model . The way a car looks and feels has become more important over the years , buyers want to have an emotional connection with the vehicles they drive . In a way they want a reflection of themselves , this is even more so in the younger generations . In my eyes , the rear of the 308 GT-Line looks awesome , due to its low and wide stance . The tail lights are sharp and the two rear exhaust tips finish the sporty look off nicely , even if there are only there for superficial reasons . The same goes for the front too , it retains a sharp , sporty and aggressive look . The 308 GT-Line instantly strikes me as the kind of car that would appeal to a young individual , in his / her mid to late twenties . The person is a professional and is responsible , that ’ s the kind of vibe this car gives off .
Beauty from within :
Stepping inside the vehicle also encompasses pleasant feelings , it ’ s inviting and simple in its design . Everything except the audio controls
