<< I'd have to agree with you wholeheartedly, Mort. Peugeot's products are
sound, at least nowadays, but their 'non can-do attitude' of their
supposed leadership in Paris is what has been holding them back from the
US market now for years. Until they get some younger people with
different ideas in charge, perhaps we'll never be able to purchase a new
Peugeot here. I figured that new guy that took over after Calvet would
bring his own 'sea-change', but he's just spewing the same old shit the
previous leaders did. What a disappointment........

Brian,
"Different ideas" yes, new ideas yes, but what's this sh*t about "younger"?
I've spent my entire career in performing arts marketing, mostly symphony
orchestras, and I hear this "younger" crap all the time. What's wrong with
"older"? Do they stop thinking? Is their money somehow worth less? Is
*lack* of experience some kind of virtue?
At 44, I'm as baby boomer and as yuppie as you get, but I have never
understood this knee jerk reverence of youth which, in my experience, is
indeed wasted on the young. For fresh thinking "outside the box" give me an
old Colin Chapman or Ferdinand Porsche over some focus-group quoting MBA
anyday.
