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..

And why do you suppose that Peugeot didn't have a large enough sales base to make it worthwhile to stay in the American market? If you cannot capture a viable market share, it says something. Even Jaguar with it horrible reputation for reliability was able to compete here.
