Still, there are quite a number of Peugeots in the DC area perhaps partly
because of the high concentration of people from abroad in and around the
nations capital. the area is so spread out now that its hard to gauge
thePeugeot density, but I would say there are easily over 400 (504, 505, and
405 combined) in the greater DC area. That's not a lot for a large area like
metro DC and it would not surprise me if folks passing through for a week or
two saw no peugeots at all ! But if you would really like to see some go to
Falls Church dealer -- LOYS Automotive-- which has 15 Peugeots in its premises
on any given day.
Keep Looking!
