Sydney show: Peugeot prices 307CC

WITH sales booming, the local Peugeot distributor launched two new models and previewed a third in Sydney, none of them expected to be huge sellers, but all should help increase sales incrementally in 2004.

The 307 Touring and the 206 GTi 180 (horsepower) go on sale now, while the metal-top convertible 307CC will not be seen until January.

Pricing has already been announced for the 2.0-litre petrol XSE Touring at $33,490, while the XS HDi 2.0-litre turbo-diesel will be $31,690. The 130kW GTi is priced at $34,990.

The real news is the 307CC which in base model 2.0-litre 102kW form will start at $49,990 with the five-speed manual gearbox, with an optional tiptronic four-speed.

The upper-spec 307CC Sport with the 130kW engine and manual gearbox choice will retail for $56,990.
