The last Peugot sold in the US..the 505.was a fine car..very roomy..well built..with a few quirks. Peugot dropped out of the US market because they didn't want to spend the money to make the cars conform to US safety/crash standards..they didn't have a large enough sales base to make it worth while..
"French" and "car" don't go together ?
Let me have a smile :
Peugeot-Citroen group
The second-largest carmaker in Europe with a 15.4% market share, PSA Peugeot Citroën sold more than 3.28 million vehicles worldwide in 2003.
With its two broadline marques - Peugeot and Citroën - and a rich automobile and industrial history, the Group has set three objectives for the years ahead: 1) develop useful innovation focused on protecting the environment, enhancing comfort and improving safety; 2) increase sales, in part through stepped-up international development (targeting sales of more than four 4 million vehicles from 2006; and 3) secure profitable growth to finance capital investment from cash flow and remain independent.
The Renault group
The Renault group has over 350 industrial and commercial sites in over 40 countries, and employs 130,740 people worldwide. In 2003, the group generated revenues of EUR37.5 billion, an increase of 3.8%.
The group's profitable growth strategy is based on three main priorities: competitiveness, innovation and international development. Renault's alliance with Nissan (Renault increases its stake in Nissan from 36.8% to 44.4 %)
- 5,357,315 vehicles sold in 2003, one of the world's top five automobile manufacturers - is part and parcel of this strategy.
lol... You are a liar, or not enough informed.
There are a lot of Nissans around here.
