Saw this in the Best Buy parking lot today:




With Manufacturer plates. In mid-Michigan. Who is importing Citroens?

It's probabvly GM? They just bought a stake in PSA Peugeot Citroen and are probably going to do some joint vehicles for the Euro market.

Hey.

Yeah, I live in a pretty GM-heavy town, but I also work for their technical assistance center, so I'm surprised I haven't come across any literature on it, since they usually make a big deal for redesigns and new products. And they still only have 7% stake in it, so why they'd choose the Citroen brand over Opel or Vauxhall is puzzling.

They'll do what Dodge did with the Alfa Romeo that underpins the new Dart - modify the frame a bit, throw a mediocre body on top of it and claim they built it from the ground up. In short, ruin it.

But then why is there a Citroen driving around at all?

GM wants to build a car that people want to buy but with even worst build quality then the French. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Nope!


I would expect something like that at a "Buy Here Pay Here" lot but I'm really impressed at the gall of a normal dealer listing that, and saying they are giving you a $2k price break!

I had a 1997 Corolla with 160k on it and minor rear end damage that my dad (I am ~abroad~ at the moment) sold for almost $2000 and I laughed pretty hard at the schmuck who paid that. How much money are you really saving in gas?

Alternate suggestion: maybe that is the price in zimbabwean dollars.

My hometown of Saginaw, MI has a certain notorious sheriff who obtained a mustang that way: http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2012/04/saginaw_sheriff_federspiel_tes.html

Reason 457 why I never trusted a Saginaw cop.



I wonder if this was before or after his people shot an unarmed homeless man to death on a street corner.
