Peugot 307 in California?!?

[watisdis]

Peugot don't go to America?

As experienced by other European volume car makers, US sales faltered and finally became uneconomic, as the Peugeot 505 design aged. The newly introduced Peugeot 405 proved uncompetitive with models from Japan, and sold less than 1,000 units. Total sales fell to 4,261 units in 1990 and 2,240 through July, 1991. This caused the company to cease US operations after 33 years.

I personally wouldnt mind a Renaultsport 197, but most Americans would just hear that a car is French and boycott it based only on its origins. (That is until they find reliability ratings)

You guys know the Noble M12 is already hear. In fact Noble is no longer making it and sold the design to 1G racing who had to rename it.

Which begs the question, do people make fun of stuff they like?

 

[zenkidori]
