The French magazine AutoPlus revealed a few renderings that show how the car might look like.408the 'actual' Peugeot 408 - more or less looks like a facelift 308 with a boot...Peugeot 308

The future 408 will also, in a way keep the same shape as the current 407, the company wanted to suggest the car is indeed a Peugeot, but will also get design elements from the current 308.

Meanwhile according to various press reports , Peugeot is expected to launch the all-new 208 hatchback in the autumn of 2012. The newcomer will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, the 207, which currently ranks among Europe’s top-selling models.

Industry sources claim that although Peugeot designers have not finished work on the 208 yet, the car will offer sporty, dynamic looks, but its grill will be toned down somewhat, adding to the product’s distinctive quality and elegance.

Colin, Kenny
I have been impressed by Peugeot 405 since I wasn't afford one. Had to wait for more than 5 yrs till had enough money to buy a cheap/used 405GL. Later on I bought 405 SRi then 405SR.

Being a die-hard Peugeot 405 I'm more impressed with the 308THP than the 407. The former is cheaper some more. At the same time I have another German 2.3l sedan to cart family members around, so buying another sedan is not my priority.

I can not say much more about the 407. But If I have to replace the 'antique' German Sedan, I would prefer to wait and see the 408 first.
