Re: Peugeot

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

It's worth recalling that a top Peugeot exec said a year or so ago, "I 
promise Peugeot will be back in North America by the year 3000."  I took 
this joke to mean that it wasn't a current priority, but definitely a 
long-term goal.

However, given the recent wave of anti-French bigotry going around this 
country, I was beginning to think that might make a French carmaker 
reconsider re-entering this market.  (Of course, I believe Germany took the 
same position in that U.N. meeting, and you don't see asshole Americans 
talking about boycotting German products...)
