For the second time in a month, Peugeot’s mini station has been captured on film without a trace of camouflage. Pug testers obviously don’t seem to care anymore as this particular 207 SW -or Break if you prefer, was found by a reader of Leblogauto parked in a central spot in

As anticipated, the 2008 Peugeot 207 CC and MINI Cooper models managed to obtain a five-star rating in adult occupant safety in Euro NCAP’s latest safety results which were released earlier today. That’s a 1-star upgrade for the MINI Cooper over its predecessor which was tested in 2002 (the previous generation 206 CC hadn’t been tested by Euro NCAP). -Continued: Click “Read More…” belowBoth cars achieved a poor two-star score in pedestrian protection. Oddly enough, the 207 hatchback has achieved a 3-star rating in the same safety test. Finally, the MINI Cooper obtained a mediocre 3-out-5 rating for child protection while the 207 CC didn’t get tested for child safety due to the fact that car was not large enough to fit the recommended child restraints on the rear seats, with the front seats in the normal position for average sized occupants.
Summary of Results
Superminis - Occupant Protection - Child Protection - Pedestrian
MINI Cooper - 5 stars - 3 stars - 2 stars
Peugeot 207CC - 5 stars -N/A - 2 stars

Pug lovers at Forum-Peugeot have managed to capture the upcoming 207 SW with its pants down. As anticipated, the 207 SW is nothing more than a 207 SW Outdoor concept without the SUV outfit –although we might see a crossover version going into production in the near future. Like its hatchback siblings, the 207 SW will be equipped with 1.4 90Hp & 1.6 120Hp petrol engines and 1.4HDI 75Hp, 1.6HDi 90Hp & 1.6HDi 110Hp diesel motors. The 207 SW will most probably make its debut at the Frankfurt Show in September. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to see a high-res image gallery

Making its world premiere at the 2007 Geneva Show, the 207 RC features the same 1.6 Turbo engines as the MINI Cooper S producing 175Hp and 240Nm of torque. Only difference here is that Peugeot’s hot mini hatch –unknown why, is equipped with a 5speed manual gearbox whereas the Cooper S gets a 6speed box. Funny enough, both hatches feature a 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) figure of 7,1 sec. As for top speed, the MINI goes up to 225 km/h (140 mph) while the 207 RC up to 220 km/h (138 mph). Appearance-wise, we’re kinda disappointed with the RC’s overly subtle exterior looks cause practically, the only element that differentiates it from any other 207 are the metallic mirror coverings. Same goes for the interior as the most significant and visible change are the sport bucket seats. Strange if you think about the models that the 207 RC will be put up against eg. Opel Corsa OPC , Renault Clio Sport etc. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to read the official press release and a high-res gallery
PRESS RELEASE
As with all versions of its 207 compact, Peugeot is previewing the upcoming 207 SW with a concept. The 4.156 mm long 207 Outdoor ads a crossover look to the SW (which should be unveiled in September at the Frankfurt Show) thanks to its 4x4 themed bodykit and the slightly raised road clearance. Beside the large panorama glass roof and a separately opening back window the Concept Car is characterized by the redesigned rear end which draws several styling elements from the 407 SW and 1007. -Continued: Click “ Read More…” below to see the press release and a high-res image gallery
