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.
