Peugeot guns for DS with XY

Peugeot will accompany the launch of the brand new 208 GTi with a luxury version of the same supermini at the Geneva Motor Show. Called the XY, it has the Citroen DS3 firmly in its sights.

The XY Concept, says Peugeot, is "intended for city dwellers who love distinction and refinement," and joins the ever-swelling ranks of the posh small car - a genre whose progenitor is the BMW MINI.
