	icCroydon - The family car that doubles as a repmobile
		There was a good reason of course - Peugeot's PR team was recognising the environment that the majority of examples of its new baby will spend their time.
		For while the Peugeot 407 may officially be described as a family car, basically it's a repmobile.
		Like its rivals the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and VW Passat, and the newer challenger the Mazda6, the 407's natural environment will be tooling up and down motorways with boots full of product samples, and resting in Little Chef car parks while drivers fill themselves sup on Olympic Breakfasts.

	Guardian \| Survival of the fastest
		The intake on the Evo, in contrast, is modestly flush with the bonnet.
		Apart from the headlamp clusters there is little about the essential profile of the Evo that sets it apart from any old mid-range repmobile of the last 20 years or so.
		If the basic 2.0 litre turbocharged 276 bhp model doesn't stand your hair on end, you can spend £2,000 more for the 300 bhp FQ-300 package, which is so rally-ready it practically comes with its own patch of Welsh forest.

	Irish Times Article - More than just a sales repmobile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Ford Mondeo 2.2 TDCi: It's surely a sign of a car's popularity when it lends its name to the caricature of a social grouping, even if it is less than complimentary.
		That's about street cred and status, and even with the barn-storming ST220 version of the Mondeo, we all knew it would only a appeal to the avid car fans.
		As far as the nosy neighbourhood watch status police are concerned, it's still a repmobile and if Jimmy drives a spoiler-clad Mondeo while Tommy next door has the Audi A4, then Tommy's the high-flyer.

	Guardian \| And the Lord said, let there be space
		After a week in an Accord, it is my impression that the Son of God might find the Honda a little too full of itself for his own purposes.
		If one of these were to drive straight at you on a pedestrian crossing - which, being a repmobile, it would be quite likely to - you'd need a very quick eye indeed to distinguish whether it was a Honda or a VW.
		At the back, though, the thick-ended boot is chopped off almost vertically, creating a tougher look, not to mention a positively cavernous storage space.

		The Ford Sierra appeared in 1982 as a replacement for the then de-facto repmobile, the Ford Cortina.
		Daring in its styling, with looks you either loved or hated, the Sierra quickly acquired the Cortina's crown as the number one repmobile.
		Ford naturally took the basic car and produced a hot version that was badged the XR4i powering it with a 2.8 litre V6 engine.

		It is believed that as many as one-in-three used cars bought in Britain have been clocked - a frightening statistic.
		It takes less than 15 minutes for a skilled crook to turn a tired 80,000-mile repmobile into a 30,000-mile one careful owner' family car.
		But in many cases, spotting cars that have had what the trade calls a haircut' is easy when you know how.

		In terms of performance they are both very good cars and as much as I dislike all those repmobiles and the HUGE amount of cocks in BMW's who live near me and think they are uber bling machines, I can't say they are bad cars.
		The CSL is hardly a repmobile tho, even if the car it's based on is. If it's a repmobile, then the Evo 8 is a bland Japanese box and the Integrale is a flaky Italian shopping trolley.
		In the same way they're effectively rally cars for the road, the CSL is a saloon racer for the road.

		The latest Mondeo is streets ahead of the old model and a continuing best seller in the family car market.
		Once plagued by the 'repmobile' image, it's now highly respected and very refined.
		Showered with awards, the only sour note is that Mondeos still lose money fast.

		This platform will also form the basis of the replacement for the Galaxy MPV sold in Europe, but not the new Ford Fusion in the US or the Mazda 6 in Japan.
		In the UK, at least, the Mondeo suffers from an image as a Repmobile or fleet car.
		This (and the styling) led to the original car being derided as Mundane Mondeo or Mundano.

		According to Renault, Ford's new repmobile could have "the shortest honeymoon in history" when buyers get an eyeful of the all-new Laguna II next February.
		Many industry observers expected the Mondeo to win the 2001 Car of the Year award this week, and although it just failed to do so - the title was snatched by Alfa's stylish 147 hatchback - Renault's claim remains a bold one, for Ford's revised repmobile has indeed been well received.
		There have been some quibbles about its styling and finish, but road testers have heaped praise on its dynamic qualities and spacious interior.

	Why I No Longer Like Driving
		Boy Racers and the Repmobile: These people behave similarly to the White Van Man in that they have a tendency to drive about six inches from the rear of your car, cut you up and don't signal.
		There are differences however, unlike White Van Man, these people have no sense of self preservation and do things like overtake on blind corners, pull out in front of you as you're doing about 70mph and make rude gestures at you when you get irate with them.
		The Repmobile is usually part of the company fleet and usually a high spec Vectra or Mondeo, thus they are quick in a straight line but don't corner too well and are instantly recognisably by the suit jacket hanging in the rear window.

		Its got old-car glamour combined with the essentials for reliability, such as fuel-injection and disc brakes."
		A huge variety of rational family saloons falls within the £25,000 budget that would buy you the entry-level KWE Jaguar, but, for our purposes, the ubiquitous Ford Mondeo, still the ultimate repmobile, makes a strikingly symbolic comparison.
		Outwardly its look is as blandly inoffensive and sterile as the Jaguar is athletic and organically beautiful.

		A new report out today says dwindling public interest for large saloon cars has pushed the 'D sector' almost to the bottom of the depreciation league.
		But according to price experts at CAP Monitor, there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the traditional secondhand 'repmobile'.
		CAP say today's generation of higher specification, higher safety, large and comfortable D sector repmobiles remain attractive to many people and a better balance of supply and demand would give this sector a significant boost.

		But with 150 mph top speed, the car was shockingly fast for a mid 80-ties repmobile.

		My GF gets this all the time in her Cooper S, even if she is doing 100mph, Mr Mondeo man will come right up behind and flash etc and then pass doing 110 and then once past, slow down to below 100, just to show that they (men) are king of the road.
		Of course, if the GF decides to play, the average repmobile will be left trailing.
		I notice that I never get this when I drive her car, maybe because I am uglier and 17st!
