The successor to the Peugeot 308 is left without a name

Peugeot has just run into a serious problem, in a matter that has been so trivial for them until now as the naming scheme for their new models, since the successor to the 308 presents them with a serious problem.

Until now they had normally just added one to the number designating the current version, so with the 308 they have run into a problem caused by the 80s craze that swept across all of Europe. As you will remember, during this very decade the lion brand launched a 309, a model you will surely recall because at the time it enjoyed great fame across Europe. The problem is that this model should have been called 305, and this change now presents Peugeot with a serious dilemma.

Among the solutions, since the brand apparently is considering naming the model with letters rather than numbers, that is, Peugeot Trescientos nueve, exactly as it is, although, as with the RCZ, perhaps Peugeot will opt for a sequence of letters, something I would personally welcome so that it cannot be called 309.
