    Another dot to connect: A couple of months ago a friend of mine who
    works in government reported several calls to NHTSA in Washington
    from a Detroit-based consultant. The questions seemed to focus on
    DoT issues for 407, circa 2005 (model year?). The general scheme
    mentioned was returning the the east and west coasts, the old
    strongholds, with other presence to follow if all went well.

    Connecting this to the PSU research project and Reiner's German
    intelligence strongly implies something more than rumors, although it
    could all fall apart if any of the links is judged too weak. Anyone
    reading the list will know that we're the hard core faithful, that we
    would (and do) put up with far more hassle than the general public,
    and that even if each of us bought two new Peugeots it wouldn't be
    enough to sustain them here.

    Perhaps the biggest issue to be confronted, it seems to me is
    DEALERS, DEALERS, DEALERS, friendly, honest and competent.

    My 2 Euro worth.
