Right angles would be an improvement over that.
In my opinion, of course. Before Jonnyhatchback gets upset with me.

The fisheye makes it look worse.
Caporegime
Yeah I don't think the wideangle helps.

@Em3bbs too soon?

Really am gutted for you but hoped to at least have you crack a smile.
Soldato
Haha definitely - what's happened has happened, the main thing for me is that my kids think it's funny and aren't worried. I'll never forget them this morning saying "Where's the car, stop pranking us daddy" though.
Caporegime
Am I missing something here..? 
No but Em3bbs is.

Picked up one of these yesterday. 208 GT Line in Vertigo Blue. Cracking little thing to drive, little engine performs well and it’s packed with kit as standard. Interior in particular is a very nice place to sit.

@Raymond Lin @mrk are you free to give this guy some photography tips? My eyes and brain hurt.
Nice colour, I assume, I can't really tell because of the post processing hurting my eyes. If you step back you might be able to get the whole car in the picture.

Never seen that car before, looks pretty cool
What's the engine some kind of 1 litre turbo?
The new 208 comes in two petrol versions, both 1.2 3 cylinders, either 100bhp or 130 bhp. The 130 bhp can only be had in an EAT8 auto gearbox. Mine is the 100bhp version and although its not that quick on paper it seems quicker on the road and is a lot of fun to drive. Despite being bigger than the previous 208, its a lot lighter which probably helps.

It's Blue m8

Turn down the high contrast tone mapping HDR - less is more !!!
Just because the slider goes up to 100 doesn’t mean you should set it that high
Yeah, no photographer would recommend using those settings. It’s like a rewind back to 2004 when it was ‘cool’ to ramp up the tone contrast settings.@Raymond Lin @mrk are you free to give this guy some photography tips? My eyes and brain hurt.

The new 208 looks great. Wonder if Peugeot are going to do a hot version?
Soldato
Word is that the hot version will be EV.
Caporegime
That would be a decent option IMO. Assuming the performance would be similar to say a Fiesta ST and around 180~ mile range that would easily do as a 2nd car that the wife could run around in.
Always thought the 208 GT Line looked great.
Doesn’t need to be massively faster than the existing e-208 GT, maybe 1.5s off the 0-62 and a bit more top end. The rest of the changes should be to braking, suspension and trim.

Those gloss black wheel arch trims really don't do it any favours! Reasonable looking car overall though.

How's about black wheelsI stand by IPACE in the flesh looks incredible if on 22" and with air to park lower.
Ah you have seen the updates on that front. XF just got the same but the 4 cylinder only isnt great.
Atleast they didn't give it beaver teeth
dat gap 
The back end is a bit boxy but other than that they look great in the flesh and a lovely place to be inside imo.

Why do Jags in a lot of cases already look ten years old when they are brand new. XE is terrible for this as well.
