Amazing concept cars from ....?Peugeot?

............some real winners here! xoxoxoo:thumbsup: |
Love the Peugot. If they sold in the U.S. I would take a 207 home any day.
|
Why aren't they sold in the US? Do they really have to be sold as Saturns? I can't buy a Saturn....I just can't. I'd rather buy a mid 90s Ford.

From Peugeot

That's a cop out. Regulations in Europe are more strict than in the US. Peugeot has excellent crash ratings, crash avoidance, good emissions, fuel economy, headlights/taillights, and bumpers. I dunno what of Peugeot doesn't conform, but it seems a dubious claim. I hope it's not that whole freedom fries thing. That wasn't our idea.

Those look pretty cool. I wonder if Peugeot has the guts to get back into the U.S. market, though I don't really know the ins and outs of why they dropped out, just my thoughts on it.
I've always had a soft spot for a lot, but not all, of the Peugeot cars. First one I owned was a slightly used 504 Wagon, I really liked that car. At the time you could no longer buy a large enough American made station wagon and the 504 was pretty good size; it had a unique, supple ride for a station wagon that size that made it a joy to drive, and contributed to quite good handling ...it was like a well controlled ride on a cushion of air, which if I recall the suspension, was partly true. And the front seats were so comfortable, maybe the best I've ever had ...other than if you need a "grab your butt" seat like in a sports car. I liked my 504SW so much, that I bought a brand new 505 station wagon; I really liked that too, and it had what looked like some improvements over the 504; but sadly, it eventually and prematurely blew up for no reason I caused; and I recall telling the dealer in Phila "if Peugeot doesn't stand behind this kind of problem and some other annoying little things I hear are not uncommon, your days in the U.S. market are numbered" and a couple years later they pulled out of the U.S. market. I hope they try again. |
saturns are not peugeots.....they are some times Opels !
|
I remember reading the Peugeot was was planning on coming to the US, then the war happened and the US hated everything that was French, even renaming the fries, there went that idea.
|
right cause french auto makers are gonna stop selling to the US cause we changed the name from French Fries to Freedom Fries
|
remember a certain sleuth who drove a old clapped out Peugeot???....
