I've owned a 508 GT SW diesel since 2022. Its design is unbeatable for elegance and sporty style, very comfortable for travelling (I'm a sales rep) and has excellent cargo capacity. It's a shame PEUGEOT has discontinued production of this splendid car — it's given me nothing but satisfaction.

The Volvo V90 is the heir to the traditional "manor Volvo" and a concept in itself in terms of space and driving feel. My choice would be the V90, because it's a good dog car. I'd prefer the AWD Cross Country, as it would give me ground clearance for country roads and a higher driving position.
