Awful... way too big

Yeah the car is kinda tall. But anywise it looks great. I really like much better the 5door hatchback. I allready took a look at those at my local dealer. Should I trade my 5door Focus for one? Maybe so

that front end looks just like the new Nissan Altima(USA only)

Dunno about the 307...

I think they went a bit too far, just like with 406. When the 406 was first introduced (was it '97?), I considered it to be the best styled car of the year, and a couple of years after that. But then they made a stupid face-lift, and the clean, simple lines and a very good form got changed, and it was a bit too much (for my liking, of course). Same with the 307. I will be comparing it to the 206 (no one can argue that the 307 was pretty much derived from the 206 styling-wise). I really like the 206, but what Pug did is take that vary good form and go too far with it on the 307.

As for trading in the Focus, I wouldn't. It seems all new cars look like Focus's nowadays, so drive the original.

Jaja, that´s true! Anywise there´s always going to be cars with real hoods and everything, don´t you think?

trading your focus for a 307? if you like comfort do it, but if you like a dynamic car, keep the focus!

Well the 3O7 has been on sale here for 3 months and from what I can see it looks set to move ahead of BMW and VW and claim Peugeot the best selling Euro brand honour- Although it will never topple Toyota's Corolla from the top of the Small-Medium segment
