However it is a French design for various markets round the world - but excluding any sales or production in Europe - so I think it should have French origin, and the Argentine example at /vehicle_448117-Peugeot-408-2010.html is correct as origin F.
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2012-11-24 02:09	Okay, many thanks. Not confirmed the russian-production for the 408?
dsl ◊ 2012-11-24 15:14	Yes - Russia started September 2012 - http://www.en.rian.ru/business/20120704/174394406.html - from a joint venture factory between Peugeot-Citroen and Mitsubishi. Also noted a very slight facelift of Chinese model from October 2012 - http://www.cbt.com.my/2012/07/31/peugeot-408-facelift-spied-in-china/ .
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2012-11-27 08:18	Same facelift for the argentinian-made 308.
JB ◊ 2014-04-23 19:50	Série 1.
dsl ◊ 2014-11-23 00:18	Now apparently 4 production sites - China, Argentina & Russia as above, plus Malaysia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_408 . Noted that there are bodywork differences depending where built.
