Simple question - Do Peugeot actually sell cars in USA at present?

Try and be nice... remember some of us have have a lot of French blood, I see a lot of dodgy comments on this forum against the French and think if it was not for the FRENCH 24hrs race there would not be a Club Arnage forum nor an anniversary we are so pleased to attend.
I am majority French blood and proud of the fact, I am not english although I live under the rule of the english government, in the Channel Island of Guernsey. In fact when asked in France if I am english I always answer that I am from Isle Anglo Normande and am then accepted. We only have one life, it is not a rehearsal, so give a bit of space to others, and before you slag off another country look at the state of your own... I am glad I live where I do and you would probably get the same answer and ideals from my Jersey counterparts

Here, here, Martini. I live here and everybody is charming and friendly. The locals put up with a lot when we all descend drunkenly into their city in June, and put on one hell of a show. Yeah, the bureaucrats can be a nightmare, but compared with the way we're treated at circuits like Silverstone (who don't even allow us to camp circuit side), LM still beats the hell out of most other events.
Besides, we'll give Rotax55 a complex!

People are people the world over, I think it's the bureaucracy that gets people down.
As a nation the brits sometimes aren't too hot either.

20 (Epsilon Euskadi) looks good as well. Fastest lap of 1:45.351 - not bad for a brand new car.Looks like LMS & LM24 will be very entertaining this year.
