I wouldn't take any wiki with any great confidence. Seeing as anyone and their dog can change it to suit.

My dealer told me that facelift will only happen in middle 2013? any truth in that?

We've Already had word from a Peugeot employee that something is in the pipeline or later this year :eusa-think:

2013, i will bee waiting and hoping.

Usually most manufacturers facelift cars after 3 years. But I think its possible Peugeot might do something to incorporate the LED DRL's.
I havnt heard anything from our Regional Manager though, but when i do, i'll let you guys know.

personally for now i don't care! it will come when it comes! hopefully they don't ruin it!

Now...I have absolutely no idea what this article says but here is an image of the "restyled/facelifted" front that is being much discussed and i have to say...it's a vast improvement! I am gonna be pretty jealous of it's prettier face if this is indeed what it is to look like. No idea why they didn't just do this to start with?! :eusa-think:

Well, the interesting bit on that French site is the list of planned changes (at the end of the arrticle) to the range, including a new diesel, and deisel hybrid, and petrol hybrid engines; increase in power of the 200 to 210. And, a change to the range planned for 2015.
There will, it seems be LED DRLs (on notera l’apparition de feux à jour à leds)
All appearing some months after these changes come on the 308.
In the comments there is speculation about where this infor actually originates, and there is a question / comment that the photo is a Photoshopped unofficial picture.

That photo is not different enough to the existing rcz hence it comes from some motoring magazines photoshop department and i think the led drls will be incorporated into the headlamp clusters hopefully :thumbup: as the 308 look like cheap add ons from a internet selling led bulb site and are blue in colour and look cheap.the peugeot emblem belongs on the front grill.

Its all conjecture but i am sure peugeot will distance the rcz from the existing 308 when it does get a slight facelift just look at the new forthcoming 208gti it all has front led lighting including the the dipped beam,indicators..........

if only!!!!!!!

 

[Anonymous]

Agreed...that's be the mutt's danglers!! :thumbup:

I still don't believe there will be a facelift.

There's an agreement with Magna Steyr to produce a fixed number of RCZs. To my humble opinion the are in the home stretch to reach that number. As you see how many "special" or "limited" editions they announced in the past months. Peugeot has a history of "special editions" at the end of productionvolumes.

 

[RCZ1]

I don't believe there will be one, not this year anyway.

 

[Anonymous]

Too late now for uk this year surely?

 

[RCZ1]

Not necessarily. 2013 builds will usually start to be built September / October onwards I believe so still time.

Correct as this ties in with "factory shut down" So any new jigs ect can be installed at the factory during the shut down period. However I go along with joske. This was always to be a limited production run and so it is more likely that specials will be the concluding models.

I'd be quite happy with no more production or models.
Keep it special!
