I think it has something to do with the fact that setting up a working
dealer chain or meeting North American safety standards is not considered
wprth it.  At one point Peugeot was distributed here through Chrysler but
that ended years ago.

No but I enjoyed reading about it.:-)

If the car existed, it would be in France.  As for Volvos, they do appear
to last but we also have VW Beetles running around here as well as some
American and Japanese iron.  But technology has improved -- my 1974 Toyota
had a heater which was simply anemic while my 2003 Honda's heater keeps the
car warm at -50.

Take care,
