When French automaker PSA, the maker of Peugeot and Citroën, returns to the U.S. market after decades away later this month, all will not be as it seems. PSA has ambitions to become a world leader in car-sharing and will launch a program in Washington, D.C., at the end of October, Reuters...Read More»

In April of last year, PSA Group announced plans to bring Peugeot and Citroen back to the U.S. market, along with the newer, more upscale DS brand. The first step of PSA's grand scheme was to take on car-sharing and ride-sharing giants like Uber and Zipcar. One year later, PSA has begun putting its...Read More»

Last month, we heard that French auto group PSA Peugeot Citroen was planning a return to the U.S. What we hadn't heard at the time was exactly how the company planned to take on such a well-established auto market after a decades-long absence. CHECK OUT: 2017 Audi A4 first drive Now, we know. And...Read More»

In the wake of the Great Recession, America lost some important (and not so important) auto brands. Volvo and Saab were sold, Suzuki and Isuzu bowed out of the U.S., and other marques, including Hummer, Mercury, Pontiac, and Saturn, were simply shuttered. Those changes upset more than a few auto...Read More»

Younger readers may not remember it, but just over 20 years ago, you could buy a Peugeot in the U.S.A. Even older folks could be forgiven for forgetting that 40 years ago, Citroens were sold here, too. Peugeot officially bailed on the U.S. in 1991. Citroen left in 1974.

Strategic partnerships are key elements in most successful business plans, and that goes double during trying economic times like these.

We were going to write something potentially clever about this new mass transit concept from Peugeot--the Globule--that's made from four electric pods covered by a flexible polymer coating. We'd planned to discuss its complete lack of practicality. We'd hoped to talk about Peugeot and how it never...Read More»

The French are different. Just look at their cars, which have included single-spoke steering wheels, turn indicators that don't self-cancel (to keep the driver on his toes?), and pneumatic suspensions that let them sink to the ground with a sigh when parked. Now a few members of GCT, the French...Read More»

On a day when General Motors filed bankruptcy and Chrysler found its way almost entirely out of a quick Chapter 11 filing, news of yet another possible automaker tie-up began to float. This time, Fiat's turned its attention--possibly, according to Britain's Autocar--to PSA Peugeot Citroen, as it...Read More»

Everything has its price--cars, politicians. And while a small pile of cash could make you the owner of car brands like Rover ($15, sold by BMW to Ford) or Chrysler (we think Fiat took them out for a steak dinner), BMW has a much higher sense of its own self-worth. So if you're considering a hot...Read More»

Unlike Audi and Chevrolet, Peugeot may not have a spot in the new Transformers flick, but that didn't stop French artist Zamak from working the concept into his latest commercial for the brand.

Got wood?: Students at North Carolina State University have built a wooden supercar that can hit 240 mph. And you know what it's called? The Splinter (pictured above). Schwing!

Who killed the EV? Well, it's beginning to look like reports of the death of the battery car were, to paraphrase Mark Twain, greatly exaggerated. As TheCarConnection noted in an exclusive April report, Nissan/Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn has declared the electric vehicle his company's No. 1 priority...Read More»

Peugeot is on a roll. Like the 206 before it, the 207 supermini is Europe’s most popular car and the larger 308 isn’t far behind. More than 100,000 have been sold since launch last summer. The French firm used the Geneva Motor Show to unveil the 308 SW, the wagon version of the compact...Read More»
