In the last 6 months, I have seen about 3 other Peugeots in the Chicago
area--1 505 STI, 1 405 DL, 1 505 SW8. This doesn't include the 6 or so at
the mechanic's yesterday when I got my blower fan replaced finally (Oh so
nice to have AC when it's 95 outside). Based on what Larry said (and Phil
in Cincinnati), I think we can conclude that Peugeots are pretty much gone
from the Midwest.
