This debate started with the notion that it was suspicious for Peugeot
to test cars in the US unless they wanted to sell them here? Then, a new
theory came up that car manufacturers like climat of the United States,
enjoy hiring US passport bearing drivers and love Arizona roads.
Honestly, I won't loose my sleep over Peugeot testing whether they test
their cars for a reason or just get kick of importing them into the US
and driving those things around for fun.

Now, as I wrote earlier, if the test driver was told to stop driving
around and go home because Peugeot decided to pull the plug entirely,
is it likely that "they" meant "pulling the plug" entirely, is it? It
also could mean that the driver was test-driving the van because the plug was
not pulled entirely. Of course, it is also possible that Peugeot meant
pulling the plug entirely on some other innocent market, say Papua New Guinea
(which climat is very similar to South Carolina, I assume) and that's why the
poor driver had to go home.
