DEMAND FOR PEUGEOT 307 CC IS UP
18 April 2006 - Peugeot

HARDTOP ROOF FOLDS DOWN IN 25 SECONDS

Despite the biting weather of March plummeting the UK into below average temperatures, sales of Peugeot’s 307 Coupé Cabriolet (CC) were up 27% in March, and up 44% for the year to date.

Though temperatures for March dropped a staggering four degrees below that of last year*, it’s clear many customers are prepared to brave the cold weather in anticipation of a warm summer, by buying into the pleasures of owning a new Peugeot 307 CC.

David Brookman, Sales Director at Peugeot, commented: ''March has certainly seen some extreme cold weather across the UK, so we’re delighted to see such buoyant sales for the weather-responsive 307 CC. Regardless of the UK’s changeable weather, our customers seem to have a real love affair with open-top motoring. And with many people predicting a long hot summer this year, Peugeot 307 CC owners are clearly in pole position.''

And should the weather decide to turn wet and miserable, the spacious four-seater CC’s fully automatic, rigid integral roof closes in less than 25 seconds, taking the driver from wind-in-the-hair motoring to the insulated comfort of a hardtop coupé in little time at all. Combined with the best-selling 206, Peugeot sell more open-top cars than any other brand in the UK market.

Notes
