Toyota at the London motor show 2008

Peugeot Expands 308 Range With Load-Lugging SW

HOT on the heels of the arrival of its 308 family hatchback, Peugeot has unveiled its new 308 wagon. The 308 SW will get its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month, with cars hitting the showrooms this summer.
