Rep Power: 3 | Peugeot is a more than a century old firm that is still family owned. The Peugeot family is known to be very conservative and to advance only a step after another one . They know what to put into production and what not. |

Car: (as soon as I get my license) 2001 Focus 1.8D Rep Power: 34 | Oh, I understand... They won't put it into production because it will suffer from the "Phaeton" syndrome, a.k.a. badge snobbery killing off sales.

Car: '07 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Sport Rep Power: 16 | Wow, I didn't expect Santana to attend an international event like Paris. Their current lineup consists essentially of 3 models: the 300/350 pictured by Correspondent75, which is basically a rebadged 1st gen Suzuki Vitara, the Anibal, which is basically a rebadged Land Rover with an Iveco engine, and the Suzuki Jimny, which is... well, a Suzuki. Out of the three models, the most successful is probably the Anibal, if only because they make a military version for the Spanish, Italian and Czech armies, but as civil vehicles go, they're mostly irrelevant, so I don't know what they were doing in Paris. Also, it's sad to see Matra reduced to building electric golf carts, but as the French would say, "c'est la vie". LOL at the Chinese badge. That's worthy of a motivator for the Funny Pictures thread

Rep Power: 3 | ^^ See no malice in this ; It' s just that makers choose for their grille something that evoques strength , courage, beauty like an animal ( jaguar , lion, etc...) or a geometrical figure ( ring , chevrons , etc...) and not the jovial face of an average bloke . |

Rep Power: 3 | There is a second hand cars hall in the show and i hadn't big expectations to see interesting cars in this, until i saw the cars from an US cars importater :  ^^ on the trucks there are stickers " je roule au bioéthanol " = " i run on bioethanol"   And the best to come : Look at the panel : "trop tard, vendu" = "too late, sold" and the price 75.000€   Look at the size of the GT40 compared with the Hummer side by side : In case you are interested , it will cost you 220.000 €   Last edited by Correspondent75; October 13th, 2008 at 09:24 PM.. |
