Abstract

[fre] Résumé De 1945 à 1965, le constructeur Peugeot devient le spécialiste français des modèles moyens. Il consacre en effet toute sa production à un même type de produit situé entre le véhicule économique et la voiture de haut de gamme. Les 203, 403, 404, de 7, 8 et 9 CV, correspondent au « milieu de gamme » que Peugeot fait lentement évoluer pour suivre une clientèle fidélisée dont le pouvoir d'achat ne cesse de progresser. Lorsqu'en 1965, Peugeot propose la 204, un modèle de 6 CV, l'entreprise n'abandonne pas le « milieu de gamme ». Elle comble au contraire un écart qu'elle a elle-même constitué. Peugeot modifie les structures classiques du marché automobile en créant le « nouveau moderne moyen ». [eng] Abstract From 1945 till 1965, Peugeot the French car manufacturer has specialized mainly in medium sized models. Peugeot dedicated himself to the production of one single type of vehicle something between an economical car and the « top range » model. The 7 HP 203, the 8 HP 403 and the 9 HP 404 correspond to the medium range models that Peugeot kept improving to meet with the expectations of a faithful « clientèle » whose purchasing power never stopped increasing since then. When the 204 (a 6 HP model) came out, Peugeot didn't give up the medium range model. It thus filled a gap which it had created itself. Manufacturing this new medium sized model, Peugeot has changed the traditional structures of the market.
