    Oh, say it ain't so...

    The stinkin' Frogs think they're good enough to produce my beloved Dodge trucks in Mexico instead of the stinkin' Dagos?...
    The French maker of Peugeot, Citroen and Opel cars is seeking a deal that will expand its footprint outside of Europe, according to people familiar with the matter. Tavares has met with advisers to consider potential collaborations or mergers, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private.

    The deliberations are very preliminary and potential targets haven’t recently been approached, the people said. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV is attractive to PSA for its exposure to the U.S. and its premium Jeep brand, but Tavares also sees General Motors Co. as a good fit and Jaguar Land Rover as a possibility, the people said, while cautioning that such deals would be difficult to reach.

    My god, man, Dodge is owned now by Fiat, the worst car maker this side of India, so Peugeot/Citroen/Opel would be a move up.

    Better hold on to the one you got Ben.
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    I had a Peugeot 504 in the early 70’s, and it proved quite roomy & comfortable for the day, although slower than owl ****. The only problem was parts supplies were very tight. In the 70’s I lusted after the legendary Citroen SM, but never even got to ride in one. Fiat’s holding company does own Ferrari and Maserati now, but they are run autonomously. Maybe Dodge is too, I don’t know, but the worst pile of crap I ever drove was a fiat the Jag dealer gave me while they serviced my car. The experience is burned in my memory.
