When I have seen a French car in American films etc they seem to be a figure of redicule.
What do you guys think!

Citroen, Peugeot, Renault, Alpha Romeo and Fiat all abandoned our market in the 80s. The Swedes, English and the Germans are the only Europeans selling non-exotic cars in the US. Jag hasn't been down on the lower end of the marked for a few years, since the X-type went away. Every once in a while we get a rebadged Opel or Euro-designed Ford. There are strong plans to bring Fiats back now that they own Chrysler. I'm looking forward to seeing the newer Fiats on the roads here, they're cool looking.
