I think a lot, if not all of the late 90's/early 00's pugs were Pininfarina. The 406 Coupe and the 306 Convertible definitely were.

I have no idea who "pinnin farina" but did know about Pininfarina's involvement in the 306 and the 406 coupe (which is why it looks so much like a Ferrari F430 of the same era)

In that era, it would be the 360, but they are all designed by Pininfarina so you're most certainly right Smile

They built the 205 CTi, I think may have had a hand in the styling of the *05 Range and many of the *06 ranges though not a total design.
need a part number? http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ and http://service.citroen.com/ will sort you out.

Although I'm not an expert, they are arguably the best of the Italian design houses. Certainly my favorite.

Possibly.

They did design some tasty looking cars, 405, 605 , Fiat Coupe, Alfa Romeo 164 and GTV.

No idea how they designed the 1007!
