Peugeot faced stiff competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, mainly from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205, rather it was designed to be a bridge between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. This was done so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the higher quality 205s.
