Features
The 1007 is the first mainstream car from Peugeot to feature a "double zero" number. In English speaking countries, the name was marketed with the pronunciation "ten oh seven".
Originally launched with the pronunciation, "one double oh seven", and James Bond style promotion, Peugeot revised their strategy, under pressure from the Bond franchise owners.<ref name="Telegraph mind the doors">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Top Gear; Season 4 episode 10</ref> It is also commonly called the "one thousand and seven". In France, it was marketed as the "mille sept".
Discontinuation in Europe
The 1007 was dropped from Peugeot's model line up in the United Kingdom in 2008, although the car was still in production in mainland Europe until the end of 2009.
Reception
Although the concept car received good reception from the public, once in production, the 1007 was regarded as one of Peugeot's largest sales failures.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Overall, due to poor sales, Peugeot lost an estimated €15,380 per vehicle produced.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
