New brands coming: Peugeot, Citroen, Opel

Not sure if the French guys know how to do leases but these brands may be coming back to the USA. PSA Group (or “Groupe PSA” is the 2nd largest car manufacturer in Europe

Aren’t they struggling in EU?

“struggling” isn’t the word.

The family that has owned it since inception had to sell their controlling interest to Chinese investors, just to stay solvent.

I see kind of the same thing that happened to the japanese. They were buying everything around the 80s and lost their shirt. Sad to see a family business lose control.

It’s funny back when these don’t qualify for US safety standards, and yet we’ve had Smart cars for years…

The only French-made cars we currently get in the US are Toyota Yaris, smart fortwo… and Bugatti Chiron. Quite the range.

I’d love a 2005 Citroen C6 just to drive around here in LA. It’s such an oddball, yet not immediately apparent if you’re not into cars.

Would be nice to have more European designs here. Japanese and US designs are boring, with few exceptions.

Citroen would be very cool. Nice smooth ride on the rough I5 freeway in LA

If anyone can get a good hack on a Chiron lease, I’d be interested :slight_smile: Nothing over $10,000/month please.
