the US is missing out if thats the case. theres some mighty fine froggy cars around now (",)
mccoy178:
I don't want to drive anything from the French. I'm scared it would quit on me. ;D
TOK:
Peugeot pulled out of the US market in 91, and is contemplating a return with no set date.
Renault is scheduled to come back into the US market in 2010. Renaults advantage is a big stake in Nissan, so already have the groundwork in place for dealerships.
When they were here, they were both really crappy cars, and that was when US cars were much worse. They are going to have to make sure their quality is fantastic or they won't last 5 years in the US market.

I don't know that all were crappy. We had a 1985 Peugeot, fully loaded and it was nice. Still running, too. Good thing, 'cause getting parts is just this side of impossible.
