    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.

    This is probably a necessary move for them to try and survive.

    I think the DS line would do well here, they are attractive and different. I liked the 2 I drove when I was in Germany in July.

    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.

      The Movie Say Anything Staring John Cusack was filmed in the Greater Seattle Washington Area, specifically: Bellevue Mall interior, filmed passing the exterior of Westlake mall in Downtown Seattle, driving past the teapot location is actually in Tacoma Washington, you can read about it here: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2977, When Diana and her dad are driving to graduation, that is filmed in the Fremont neighborhood, the Dicks Drive in location for burgers and fries is the Dick's located in Wallingford, the prison scene is filmed at Spokane correctional facility. That is all that I remember of the film and I have it in my library, so I tend to watch it a bit. 😛

      In looking at the houses, it could have been.  Any idea on which neighborhoods?  (That scene looks like L.A., with the vegetation suggestive of a drier climate.) The car?  That grille and stacked headlamps!  I very much miss seeing those cars on the road.
