Peugeot 206 for sale – The Peugeot 206 is a supermini car that is produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from May 1998 to the present day. Peugeot 206 had a tough act to follow. Its predecessor, the 205, had dominated supermini sales in the Eighties and really proved difficult to replace.
Peugeot had hoped that the 205 would not need to be replaced, and could be phased out slowly, while customers who would normally plump for the 205 would continue to have a choice with either a smaller or larger car. This strategy did not work. With the 205 phased out, other superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo continued to sell well and increased in popularity, and without a direct competitor to these cars, Peugeot was losing sales fast. A new supermini was required, and the 206 was launched in 1998 as a somewhat belated replacement for the 205. Peugeot hired the services of world-famous Italian designer Pininfarina to make it the most beautiful against its competitors.
