Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler to merge

donato said
Some of you are thinking 70’s Fiats. They’re better now. And they do also own Maserati and Alfa Romeo (ok my reliability argument isn’t helped much). Anyway, I can see Peugeot being viable in the US. Why not? More choices are better. Why are Peugeot, Renault and Seat available in Mexico and not the US? If you sell them people will buy them.

Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance is whom is merging with fca.

Two are already sold here. The Mitsubishi part has been trying to get things going here again. In honesty they are selling cheap cars to people with credit problems.

The thing with french cars and all non big three usa builders none of them are designed for the us market.

I would have no problem with buying a French car. In fact they make some cool stuff.

I would buy a Citroen C4 Cactus in a second they are under the giant company as well as Opel and Vauxhall.

The merger is more about sharing platforms than anything else. With being a European company they have been working on the euro pollution standards longer and they are much tougher than the us ones.

With that said I would love if Suzuki came back!

If Suzuki came back to the market here I would buy the jimny in a second. It was sold here as a Suzuki samurai. This is what it grew up to be. Perfect city car that is 4wd to play with and is cheap as hell.
