  1. I'm very happy that you checked out the Le Mans Peugeot. The French make fantastic cars. The Renault 19, became Germany's biggest selling car . Citroen's DS from the 1950s, set so many records and features with it's hydro pneumatic suspension and hydraulic assisted steering, auto transmission, turning lights and brakes - which was a "squishy" rubber button, not a pedal. Could drive on 3 wheels. First fwd car to cross the Sahara desert. M-Benz used their suspension on their S class, without permission. Rolls Royce asked. Lol Self centering steering. Renault make semi's and bendy buses. Peugeots had Michelin tyres tuned to their own Peugeot made shock absorbers and again tuned to the seats, that were made of foam, not springs. There was even a Bathurst version of the Peugeot 505 as a marketing thing. You will see sooooo many French cars when watching footage of the Middle East and North Africa and many South American and Pacific countries. Peugeot has won many European Car of the Year Awards in recent years. Very good electric range. PSA Group is Peugeot and Citroen. If you go to their headquarters website, you can see the great cars they make. Peugeot actually bought Opel and Vauxhall recently. Now part of the Stellantis Group with Fiat Chrysler. The around Australia Redex Reliability Trials, of the 1950's on unmade roads and partial outback, were continuously won, often 1,2, and 3 by Peugeot. That and along with their great suspension for Australia and North Africa and being one of the first diesel passenger cars in Australia, and made here, they became very popular and have remained here ever since. Popular with farmers because of Diesel on the farm ( combine harvester, tractors etc ). Before airbags, Peugeot came third worldwide in crash safety, after SAAB and Volvo. All 3 French brands have been at the forefront of Rallying. I know Renault use to be part of AMC in the US along with VW and Jeep Australia has quite a few restored Javelins. Renault owns the Romanian car Dacia. ( Correct me if I'm wrong - own or share ? ), similar with Lada. May share Samsung motors - last big Renault here, was actually a rebadged Samsung - was Rubbish - suppose to replace the Laguna. I think they may own Europcar Rentals. Saved Nissan in the 90's. Hilarious story about Carlos Gohn,? and his escape from Japanese prison to Lebanon - head of Renault/Nissan. Still collaborating and with Mitsubishi. Renault holds the current record for a FWD car around the Nurburgring ? circuit with their limited edition Megane RS. One allocated to Australia and auctioned. Have been in F1 for ages and now as Alpine - pronounced Al - peen. Fantastic Renault turbo 5 and V6 transplant into the backseat of these little cars and the Clio. Zoe was Europe's biggest selling ev. Also have the Twizzy electric thing. On top gear, racing the other 2 by bike and public transport in Russia? First talking car - Renault 25 First "Le plip" remote fob - Renault Fuego. First hatchback?? Renault 16 First electric auto in a small car Renault 12. First PROPER people mover: Renault Espace. First in Electric Formula One with Audi. Shared the Douvrin ? 2.8 V6 development with Peugeot and Volvo.
