Pugs new power

[jonno1103]

I've been hearing whispers of a forthcoming announcement by Peugeot of an automatic gearbox option for their Euro 6 BlueHDi 2.0 engine.

For me this gained a little more traction when it was mentioned in a van review by a reputable journalist from another publication when describing Ford's Selectshift.

Question is, have I been hearing things. Has any forum member heard or read the same?
I remember being looked at like a visitor from Mars back in late 2011 when I mentioned to a dealer that Fiat were to offer their robotised box across their engine ranges... I'm getting the same blank faces again.

I've not heard anything about this myself, but it would be good business. There are plenty of motorhomes who prefer (or need!) an auto, and Peugeot seem keen on the MH market.
