    French automakers considering a return to US

    http://www.thecarconnection.com/news...on-uber-zipcar

    Peugeot Citroën is considering a three-step plan to return.

    More choices in small cars?

    Interesting, especially with Uber/Zipcar strategy.

    Hope they'll bring diesels too.

    Well, if the Italians can successfully return to the US market, why not the French?

    They bought a bankrupt US company.

    They did get Jeep in the deal.

    According to the Brits, french cars are rubbish, but small french hatches are cool.

    Unfortunately, it seems they're going to start with Citroën's DS premium luxury line. I'm sure there's not much profit to be had from small hatchbacks, especially on this side of the pond.

    That certainly got their foot in the door, didn't it!
