A2 VW Jettas actually came with a bag in that location for skis so they wouldn't dirty up the interior.

So no. Peugeot didn't quite think of everything. They forgot the bag.

Nice, reminds me of those infectious disease rigs with the built in gloves. :P I guess the French engineers just assumed you'd never be so crass as to put skis in your car without cleaning them.

Yeah, my old AUDI had the bag too. Don't remember of it was the 5000 or the A6, maybe both?

Peugeot should think about getting some new skis. Those are from about 1987 or so....

I thought this was pretty common on Euro stuff.

Heh, well I haven't had a car with one before. The last Euro cars I've had were the 951 & Lotus Elan, neither of which needed a ski cubbyhole for obvious reasons.

I happen to know that a Osterkraut will fit through the ski hole panel in an E30. Fortunately no Ski-Codoms in that one.

Subaru does that on Canadian models of the old STI sedan but I dunno if they ever did it in the US. You gotta have that ski passthrough in this country - every sedan I've ever owned has had one, even my old Cavalier.

Never thought to put a bag on it though, that's going above and beyond. I applaud zee Germans.

My 02 WRX had a ski pass-through.

Meh. Mericans have had pickup trucks for 100 years. We learned to put nasty, dirty, goofy sized crap all the way in the back-were it belongs.

My '89 325ix had the ski bag on the pass thru.

I used to have a 1980 Mazda 626 coupe that had a 60/40 fold down back seat, that was pretty handy. i could carry all kinds of long things in that car, particularly if I reclined the passenger side front seat.

actually... Peugeot had the pass through back in 1989.... the 405 Mi16 and I'm pretty sure it had a bag...

So then I drove up a mountain.

Fun fact: there are three pairs of skis, boots, poles, gear & bags for two people, and three days' of food & booze for our cabin in there at the time of this pic. Still impressed.
