Peugeot looking to buy Vauxhall and Opel!

[citroenguy]

Apart from a Monaro, there is no other Vauxhall I want to own.

Which actually makes them a perfect fit with PSA; who wakes up and thinks I really need a Peugeot on my drive to make my life complete?

When i some day get a shed and start building my car collection there will be a couple of Peugeots there  mmm 605 V6 24V...

Are FWD cars other than Minis allowed in car collections?   

Ducks!

A V6 Xantia always had a perverse appeal. Although finding one of the 7**that they sold here was never easy


** this is an educated guess fuelled by coffee

[Doctor Gollum]

Did they do a 4x4 version of that or was it just the 2.0 Turbo?

Struggling to recall the last time I saw one...

[citroenguy]

No 4x4 but they did the Activa version with an active anti roll system. Which means it pretty much doesn't roll at all... So it is very quick for its power/weight. Also it is the fastest through the famous moose-test, beating Porsche's etc..

I've driven one of them and by god it holds on tight in the bends

If you've read this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_That_Changed_the_World_(book)

then it all makes sense.

Global Over-production, and emerging entrants to the industry, means that the weaker companies will gradually fail, or be bought up, and only the stronger companies will survive.

GM is run by Americans who are out of touch.
PSA is run by Europeans who do not have a clue.

Both are ultimately doomed with or without this merger.

Job losses? If so where?

Pug 405M16 or a 205GTI would be in mine

You can bet your bottom euro they wont be in France. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I owned a 205gti a few years ago. Fun for about 10 minutes due to being very light and having a reasonable amount of grunt, but wrong wheel drive so the novelty quickly wore off.

Yep.....not so long ago I had a blast in a 2003 clit 172 Cup.

Pretty quick but so crude and noisy that after 30 minutes I was done with it. Now if I was 19 again and partial to wearing a back to front baseball cap I'd have loved it.

Still wwd though.

There are some people (like me) who like FWD, you know...
