Final countdown for 407 Coupé

These recent spyshots reveal that the new 407 Coupé is very close to its launch. Contrary to the 406 Coupé it replaces, the 407 was not drawn by Pininfarina but by Peugeot’s designers, ruled by Gérard Welter. This coupe does not seem as elegant as its predecessor, but then, stringent European norms imposed this heavy front end. The cabin remains very similar to that of the 407 saloon. Accommodation should appear to be asset for this coupe, which should offer the same superb handling and ride as the saloon. As for the engines, the petrol 2.2 160bhp, the 3.0 V6 210bhp and the 2.2 160bhp block may be available. Prices are not known yet but they will surely be competitive.

I'm very concerned about the big snouts of modern Peugeots (or the Citroën C5, for that matter). Volvo and Audi seem to be able to create pedestrian-safe cars while hiding the frontal bulk. The more I see of the 407s, especially now these preview shots of the Coupé, the more reminded I am of the Chrysler Concorde.

It's an interesting remark, especially if we consider that the "cab forward" concept seen on the Chrysler was taken up by Peugeot for the 307.
