Now -- exports to the United States ... (none / 0)

Peugeot ended its exports to the US a long time ago. My 1980s / early 1990s car was a diesel 505, that I tweaked to above 35 mph ... but couldn't keep it maintained in the US at an affordable price.

I would welcome a chance to go back to a Peugeot ...

35 mph, eh? Sounds like a typical diesel! :-)

Re: Now -- exports to the United States ... (none / 0)

A small dilemma we have here- no access to these (or most other) diesel vehicles. I'm surprised nobody mentioned running one of these baby's on biodiesel, why not run it on B100 (100% biodiesel)? I know the creation of biodiesel is not yet out of the petroleum loop, but it seems possible to make the shift. Of course, allowing US farmers to grow Industial Hemp would help...

The bottom line for me is that cars are not going away, especially here in the US, anytime soon. Barring a MAJOR oil crises, of course. Biodiesel and diesel/hybrids like these offer a workable solution, IMHO.

We've got plenty of diesel-powered vehicles. You just don't have the right attitude! :-)
