It looks great. I'm a big fan of French car design.

This looks like it was inspired by Maxima and XF - both of which were inspired by the GS. Looks good.

Peaugot needs to outsource all design.

Actually, I think Peugeot evolved the design of the 407 when they designed this. I certainly didn't think of the Nissan Maxima or Lexus GS when I saw it. I thought of the 407, which I find strangely attractive.

Beautiful sedan. Has a sleek look and great details and proportions. I don't see any GS in it though.

Peugeot has had some nice looking unique designs. I would like to see the interior.

Good looking car. Most of us here probably don't know much about Peugeot.

Should Acura be their primary beneficiary?

it's going to be difficult to make the next GS special and different with all these other carmakers using the same basic profile.

this peugeot has pretty good proportions from the quarter angles.
just like the XF.

the lacrosse was more poorly executed; it looks chunky
