Agreed. The Peugeot crest/logo on the 406 C nose is ugly, only
surpassed by the exceptionally vulgar one of the 607. To add insult
to injury, the same sort of crest reappears on the cars' butts.
I think these logos and the massive crests are an attempt by Peugeot
to belatedly develop an Alfa or BMW-like corporate nose/grille.
I think they blew it when they left the trapezoidal headlight design
of the 504/505. The 504 headlight was nothing like any other design
seen before and gave a very interesting appearance to the nose. The
505 repeated the theme quite well. Had they stuck with variations on
that, they'd still have a stylistic gimmick to rely on and not have
to reinvent a new one every decade.
I am nowhere near as impressed by the latest Peugeot headlight shape
