Peugeot 508 - the most logical choice

The all-new, internationally acclaimed and award-winning Peugeot 508 was launched in Malaysia on October 18th, 2011. The car is priced at RM169,888.00 OTR. The first shipping of Peugeot 508's has been 'over-subscribed' by those who had already booked the car even before it was launched here! I do remember I was also one of those early birds for the 308 almost 3 yrs ago...


In Q1, Q2 and Q3 y2011 about 4000 units of Peugeot are sold in Malaysia by Nasim Sdn Bhd. Other than 508 there are also 407, RCZ, 308 [THP, VTi, GT and CC], 207 sedan, 3008, 5008... Nasim Sdn Bhd, the exclusive distributor of Peugeot in Malaysia is expecting to sell between 150 to 200 units of Peugeot cars per month.

Rayzel, Verm...

Difficult to make decision right now between a VW or Pug.

For 'B-segment': I prefer WV Polo GTi than the 'not-available-locally' Pug 207GT. Verm had made a very good decision. Congrats! Bravo!!

For 'C-segment' with a boot: I also prefer a VW - i.e Jetta 1.4TSi than the 'coming-soon' Pug 408 [or booted 308]

For 'D-segment' of course I prefer the 408 [better value for the money] than the "Pusat"... oops sorry, Passat 1.8T

For a Coupe personally I prefer RCZ [THP156] than the Scirocco 1.4TSi

Already visited Pug and VW at Glenmarie with Hakimi.

Then buy all segments

B-segment: Polo Gti
C-segment: Jetta TSi
D-segment: 508
Coupe: RCZ

Then sure happy ending :)
