Your kidding? Sure twenty years ago peugeot's were pure crap but nowadays they make really good cars. With the car market probably being the most global industry I'm very surprised to hear that they aren't sold over there.

You learn something new everyday I guess.

It sure is one sweet looking ride...
 
I wonder what it would tkae to import a Peugeot into the US... hmmmm....

but yeah Mize I'd got for a Chrystler 300 or a M-B C230
 
Have you looked in to a Lincoln LS. Its msrp is 33,255. It looks nice but the msrp for a V8 is over 40K so your stuck with a V6.

The Ford 500 looks nice to and loaded is under 33k.
 
Ugh the Ford 500 looks like it has the front end of a pick up truck. I always thought the Chryslers had the best ride for domestic makes...

I dont worry that much over reliability over 5 years. Its alll pretty good imo now... I know one girl with a Kia Majesta thats over 5 years old and hasnt had any real issues.

Holy crap!
The TL's rear seat doesn't fold! WTF?
That screws my first choice!
I often have to transport my company's sensors that can be up to 48" long!

CRAP!
The TL is a nice car and I recommend it, but it does have that problem. Just this weekend I was riding in a friends TL and he told me he just discovered the rear seats don't fold. I guess he'd never had a reason to need that feature in the past year, until now. It looks like there's no technical reason, they just left out the feature for some reason.
 
Paul, the Evo is hardly a family car. It is highly discouraged against mainly for the fact of it being so stiff suspension wise. Plus it sounds too small for what Mize needs.

The Murano sounds like a good bet. It's an SUV but is built upon the FX platform which is the same on that the 350Z and G35 are on.
 
Well now I'm leaning toward the 300C again. It's butt ugly but has all the features:

Fast
Folding seats
Lots of room
AWD
Bluetooth
Nav
HID lamps
Good audio
Reasonbly good handling

I really like the looks of the G35 and the features of the TL, but the G35 has no bluetooth, no folding seats and gets hammered for its cabin quality...the TL is a sweet deal but no folding seats, AWD or bluetooth.

The 300C also has a crap turning radius, but I do very little serious city driving. Too bad the G35 doesn't have folding seats as I could talk myself out of the bluetooth I think.

This is often done to improve rigidity...no idea if that's why they did it in this case.

I test drove a Murano. Quite an interesting ride with its gearless transmission - you keep on expecting it to switch gears but it never does. However, I'd be cautious about it as my brother mention his shop (he was a tech at a Nissan dealer) ends up replacing the alternators quite a bit.

Peugeot isn't sold in the US. Hasn't been for 20 years, or so.

Thats funny considering they announced their closing shop in US in August of 1991. And still sold the 405 and 505 in early 1992. I would have been more apt to say in the past 10 years or so :)
 
Why should a normal american ever want to buy a Peugeot?

When I think about it, why should anyone want to buy one?

IIRC the Tribeca is due out in May. It may be worth a look.

Hmmm...good looking vehicle other than the nose. Who told Subaru that the world needed another Pontiac Aztec? Still interesting. No Bluetooth, but nice size and no pricing info...

Because when a French woman says the name, it sounds dirty, thrillingly dirty? :devilish: :devilish:

Mize, baby, if you want some TRUE Respekt! Lemme suggest:

Ford F-350
Turbo Diesel
4-Wheel Drive
Extend Cab
Leather interior w/ heated seats
6' Cargo Bed

Seeing more and more exec's driving these beasts lately.
Its more than an SUV its a land Yacht.
