Peugeot? Yikes....

You guys do realize that Europe built some wicked cars.... right ?

Do some research on Aston Martin DB3 & 5s... Jag E types ... etc. they made some muscle cars of their own in the 60s!
They still do! Some are just a tad bit pricy though:D

I know... I sell many of them.
Mercedes , Porsche ,Jag , Rover

But I gotta say I really love driving my old Mopar.

Jay Lenos garage has really gotten me to appreciate the classic Euro cars.

Watch Bud Lindemans 1969 test on a Jag XKE with a 4.2 ? 6 cyl. That ****** was fast !
 
????why???? Is my ?
Haha! Because you stated, on a Mopar site, that you'd never seen one of THESE......

I just had to razz ya a little!
 
Gm and Ford just keep getting smaller and smaller. They’re going to have to merge themselves if they want to compete in a global market.
 
Is this from experience?
My brother imported " grey market" European cars in the 80's. He federalized them so they could be sold here in the states. I worked for him PT driving the cars from Milwaukee to the EPA test station in Chicago. Too many German and French stories to tell. The only neat Escargot-mobile was the R-5 I drove that dusted some redneck in a Camaro with a tunnel ram. Smoked him from two toll plazas on my way South...never knew what hit him

The Euro market is dying. Sales are in the dumpster. And there's so much BS trying to build cars in 3rd world countries that GM and Ford should just stay home and make $$$ on their trucks.
 
I'm glad some of you accept any and everything, but it's my freedom of choice not to. I don't like or accept that a foreign car company has control over what used to be the best Muscle car producing manufacturer in the world. I don't have to like or accept it, either. This isn't a European car forum. I don't give a **** about European car, nor do I have to.

That also doesn't mean my opinion is any less right or less educated as anyone else's. That's my opinion and I'm stickin to it.
 
M-B was bad.... Fiat certainly has been a bit better with product. Now Mopar will have Puegeot as the new owner?

The only people who should own French cars live in France!
Think u got it backwards-----
 
I like nothing at all about any of this. The "Europeanization" of murica. Chineseofied parts are bad enough

I don't think many of us like it. And it really doesn't matter if we accept it. I'm glad these buyouts and mergers keep the old US brands alive. But they really aren't American cars anymore anyway and haven't been for a while. In addition to my Duster, I have an '03 Daimler? Neon, and an '09 Journey (Mexican built and not even sure who was running Chrysler at the time) If I was to buy a new vehicle right now, I would certainly not be exclusively looking at 'Mopar'. Maybe a RAM if I wanted a truck... I'd actually like to see some smaller cars back in their lineup. Right now from FCA the only ones available are FIATs. They sell a Neon in Mexico, but not here. Not saying I want a Neon. How bout something new?
 
LOTS of early Omni/Horizon cars were built with the VW/AUDI sourced 1.7.

It even had the AUDI "olympic" logo cast in the block.
 
Back in the 70's we had a salesman from Peterbilt who owned a Puegeot diesel. He said if it wasn't a diesel he couldn't afford to drive it back to the dealer for all the repairs it needed!
