Peugeot !!!

I have found some funny things in a site for Peugeot.

okay.....what's peugeot?

[Joe Brody]

Neat. It's like a digital age version of the old 'Banana Republic' catalogs. The text could have been more compelling. Is Peugeot ever going to try to crack the North American market?

A car.

[Finn]

A <i>French</i> car, to be exact. And you're an American, so no wonder you've never heard about it.

My dad owns one. It's not a bad model.

A move to the OT section, btw.

Cool use of Flash! :)

They have already tried to, but the cars were to expensive due to the export costs I guess. Plus the car market is pretty busy in America.

I drive a 20 year old 205 Peugeot (manual).

. . . .between the diary (with drawings) and the shot of the rope bridge, one could argue that it was Indy inspired.

You do see them here in states from time-to-time. . . .and I've known at least one person to confuse the brand with SAAB. Their efforts here just seemed to be half-hearted . . . . and Americans are becoming more discerning so I could see a place for them here.

Point taken.

Peugeot's are very well made cars. During the early 90's my family owned one. To me is was a cross between an Audi and a BMW.

Looks like the new ones are turning toward a more Asian design. They look alot like Honda and Toyota hybrids.

You said it better than I could. It seems to me that's where there's room for growth/competition in the American market -- the mid-range of the high end. I figure Peugeot could fit right in there. There's a lot of people who have been burned the lower end of the high end and have issues of taste principal with buying Benz or even Lexus.

That's the new Peugeot 907. :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Deadlock]

Whoa! That's a sweeeeeet car.

[Zharah]

I've seen a few of those. Well, only around swanky places like Malibu, Pacific Beach and even Oceanside in rare cases. It's a nice car for sure.

[Pale Horse]

pretty dope, to be sure.

[Raffey]

Nice car! If I'm not mistaken, I count 12 cylinders beneath the plexi display of that hood! :D

[Deadlock]

That's a twelve pack of Coors Light. Duh. :rolleyes:

No way, a car that really runs on water. Cool! :p

[Zharah]

Ewww, Coors Light... That car can't be very good now...:p

Well, it would be nice if Coors Light were good for SOMETHING wouldn't it? :sick:

Peugeot 907. 6.0 Litres, 500 horsepower, 12 cylinder engine without Stromberg Downdraft Carbutrator, can go from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds (a guess). And I even like the color.

Too bad they won't produce that.

[Chattar Lal]

I prefer my Yamaha motorbike.

Yeah...you say that now! Keep drinking that stuff and you'll find yourself 'rolly-polly' by your mid-20's. :p

I'd take the Puegot over a motorcycle. Motorcycles come a dime a dozen and on the dime you'll have to spend for that beast you can buy a dozen bikes! :p

Never. With a diet and exercise, I'll be fine. :D

That's true, but I still prefer motorcycles...
