We only have about three to four years before Peugeot takes America by storm. Well, maybe not by storm, because this is a notoriously competitive market, arguably the most vicious in the world. Hopefully Peugeot has learned a thing or two since last limping away.

One factor fueling this new strategy is Peugeot’s purchase of Opel from GM and quickly turning the struggling German brand around. That move also came with a team of engineers who know U.S. specs quite well, so readying vehicles that will meet government regulations won’t be as much of a struggle. Let’s just say Peugeot is a savvy company, unlike Renault, and it actually knows how to read markets.
