Chronology

The Peugeot 205 is a four-passenger, front-engine, supermini (B-segment) car manufactured and marketed by Peugeot over a sixteen-year production run from 1983 to 1999, over a single generation. Developed from Projet M24 and introduced on 25 February 1983, the 205 replaced the Peugeot 104 and the Talbot Samba, using major elements from their design.^[5] It won What Car?'s Car of the Year for 1984. It was also declared "car of the decade" by CAR Magazine in 1990.^[5] Peugeot stopped marketing the 205 in 1999 in favor of its new front-engined 206. The 106, which was introduced in 1991, effectively took over as Peugeot's smaller front-engined model in their lineup. The 106 was indeed developed as a close sibling of the Citroën AX, sharing many components and a platform that later evolved into the Citroën Saxo.
