looks pretty cool...i can see that this 407 coupe is taking some subtle styling cues from their RC concept cars

Looks good. Not as good as the 406 Coupe, but still very nice.

Thanks for posting.

It ain't bad, but it certianly has lost the character and looks. I remember when I was a kid, I did a photo of the 406 coupe thinking that it was a Ferrari...this looks like the sedan with just different rear lights ;(

It doesnt look bad at all although the former 406 is much more beautiful undoubtely with its ferrari cues...in fact for me the 406s shape has been one of the most brilliant ever in terms of its beauty and elegance

For me it has been a big mistake from pug to leave Pininfarina as its subcontracted car designer for the pug coupes, the pug cabrios and some saloon cars such as the former pug 205 or the pug 405....the 206 Coupe Cabrio looks great IMO though

For sure a lovely design as the 407 sedan , and IMO its a lot better than the 406 coupe

Love the interior more than exterior Somehow 407 doesn't look right from side-on view... :roll:

Not so bad (something wrong with the air scoops and the front bumper imo) , but the design aint compareable to that of the 406 coupe (well maybe not fair to compare pininfarina's work to that of pug's young inhouse designers)
