That's pretty funny except, the French were actually responsible for Bugatti and the Citroen DS- a legend. Andrew and I have a good French friend in DC and he is one hell of a good shadetree mechanic!

I was always fond of the styling, but then again, I've liked a number of French cars over the years. Peugeots were sold here in Canada in the 70s I believe, but no longer are. I really like some of their current offerings too. If they ever return, they would be a maker I'd be interested in.

Actually, Peugot produced the first commercialy sold diesel passenger car, ahead of Daimler Benz.

If there were such problems, I'm sure it would be well reported. Hard to keep such problems quiet with things like YouTube and the internet now. If the car isn't took old, I think BMW will offer extended warranty on one too.
