It's a design concept, so even if it goes to production, many details will change for practicality sake. As a concept car, I like the looks; chances of Peugeot actually producing a car like this: IMO about 2%
Back in early '80's I bought my first Peugeot, it was a '78 504 stationwagon; it was roomy, quite large compared to other non-American made cars. Between the super comfy seats and the classically-Peugeot supple suspension (lots of wheel travel lightly sprung but well damped) I really like how it rode; barely adequate (marginal for U.S. market) power as usual (I didn't have the diesel); I like it enough that after a couple years, I bought a new 505 Stationwagon; liked it even more in most ways, still had the "Peugeot" ride quality that I still fondly remember. I thought Peugeot had to bail out of the U.S. market mainly because they got a reputation for less than adequate reliability. I remember saying to the sales manager at the local Peugeot dealer "if you guys don't straighten out this stuff quickly and stand behind the car for customer support, you'll loose what little market share you have and fail in the U.S. - about a year later they pulled out.
