The original car was French. Google Cugnot’s Fardier a vapeur. You will be amazed at how long ago the car was invented.

Some of the most interesting cars, both technologically and aesthetically, have been French.

Oddly enough, there was a Renault Fuego parked outside my apartment building today … we might be better off without french cars.

I can see it now: a PSA-GM link-up. Just think about it:

-GM improves Peugeot/Citroen quality.
-Peugeot/Citroen and GM develop this joint drivetrain (the Volt suddenly becomes more than just a pipedream).
-Financial stability.

Sure, GM would lose some redneck loyalists who are still upset about France doing something-or-other during the “sham on terrorism” (the “Freedom Fry” set), but gains longterm viability.

Also, we could be driving French cars in America again.
