Bastards Who hasn’t Fiat slept with? I see it has a new bastard with Mitsubishi, to add to the children sired with Ford (500), Peugeot (Qubo), GM (Grande Punto, Doblò), and Mazda (124 Spider). I’m not even counting the Chrysler-sourced models.
Les aventures de Philippe, Le Tone et Bruce chez Top Gear They drop slightly different cars on French Top Gear. Sadly, the French don’t seem to know how few Matra Ranchos are left. They were all pretty knackered, but they were running before this.
Spammed Peugeot UK got caught out recently when it used a tainted list to spam me. (It’s very easy to spot those.) But is there a way to remove yourself? It doesn’t look like it. This is a very poor move from such a large, legitimate company. I wound up using the contact form, to no avail: the promise of contact within 48 hours, on September 30, was never met.

Meanwhile in Iran If you wanted a car, and lived in Iran, there was a time when getting anything but a Paykan would have made you unpatriotic. With pollution on the rise, the Iranian government offered incentives to motorists to get rid of their Paykans and step into those plush new Kia Prides. Or, hopefully, the Peugeot Roa, under which the Hillman Hunter lives on.
The one-litre Peugeot 508 Either this is a typo, or these mid-sized cars are coming out with really tiny and highly efficient engines these days. Well, if a Škoda Superb and Renault Laguna can be had with a 1·4 or 1·5 …

Peugeot 504 Coupé (1977)
I was never a fan of Peugeot, I have to admit. But the 504 Coupé has always made me look at it twice. Its a proper gentleman’s coupé.
