"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.
I never said they didn't try. They just couldn't compete in the US market. As far as building a lot of cars is concerned, the Russians also built a lot of cars, so 'that don't impress me much'.
If the cheese-eating surrender monkeys could make money selling cars in the US, they'd be here.
More likely he's had the "pleasure" of owning a french car, and the ability to compare it to a real car. Like maybe a Yugo or Trabbie?
Me? I've owned a Peugeot 404, and a Renault R-12 wagon. No-one was ever able to get the R-12 to decide which of the two idle speeds to settle on.
