    Rumorpile: PSA Plans A Return To The U.S. With the DS Brand

      PSA Could Be Making A Return To The U.S.

    Consider this: Citroen pulled out of the U.S. in the eighties, while Peugeot would leave in 1991. But according to Automotive News, PSA/Peugeot-Citroen could be making a return with their DS brand.

    “We want to make DS a global premium brand, and you cannot be global without the U.S.,” said DS CEO Yves Bonnefont.

    The DS lineup was previously a division of the Citroen brand, providing premium models to compete with likes of MINI Cooper and Audi A3. However, PSA made the decision to make DS a stand alone brand this year.

    Bonnefont said a decision on making a return to the U.S. would come in 2017 at the earliest, and sales would not begin sometime after 2020.

    This assumes PSA/Peugeot-Citroen survives Europe's depression without disappearing into history.  No worries here, especially since VW is not doing well here in the USA despite Audi doing fairly well these days.

    They could become a History Foot note as the over capacity in production in Europe shows that something has to give and either everyone cuts back laying off people and manufacturing or some companies go away. Interesting times we live in.

    • Most of that is old stuff. M5 processor is out now and six of those devices are M3s, one is an M2 iPad.  The iPhone 15 Pro an Pro Max were not some of Apple's best work and we're on 17 now.  I just can't with 4-cylinder turbos on premium aiming products. No one has really fixed the NVH of these engines and they all sound terrible. I'd really rather a small displacement 6 cylinder, say 2.5 liters with a turbo for premium stuff. Buick to Benz, they all sound bad. 
    • I know. When I was talking about USC, I then went over to Mossimo and Lori Loughlin.  They participated in the bribed admissions snafu at USC for their daughters and did time.  I rechecked and those two are separated instead of divorced. As for Bezos and his arm candy, only time will tell what that will look like. 
    • Hmm....I was talking about Lauren Sanchez... they just got married last year.  Had been Bezo's girlfriend since 2018.  He divorced his first wife in 2019.
    • USC grad and I believe a SoCal upbringing.  USC was once not that hard to get into.  I'm not commenting on her intellectual abilities (she's not a rocket scientist, that's for sure), just the statistics.  Admission percentages for freshmen at the best public universities in America have dropped like a lead balloon.  I don't know if I'd want to go to a school where Mossimo* and Lori Loughlin* had to swindle the system to get their daughters in.  It's also in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood. What it does is beg the question as to who and what she is thinking about when she's got her thighs wrapped around his waist.  I'm just calling a spade a spade.   * I just did a wiki on them. They got divorced last year.
    • She looks like a fake plastic surgery disaster bimbo...no substance there. Just a wannabe Kardashian...
