Lucky you in the Land of Wonder, The Land Down Under.....
If I am lucky I see one a day - and it's either my resto project 404
C in the garage or my olden beater-like 1989 405 in the driveway (if
my 17 year old daughter isn't out in it).
I might see about two or three others in a YEAR here, yep, pretty
sad I know, considering that Vancouver Island is not a rust belt.
On the other hand, smart cars are everywhere here - the local
dealers have sold about 750 of them on this island of 700,000 people
in 18 months. They're WAY more common than Peugeots ever were here.
I wouldn't mind being able to decide if a 307 SW HDI is right for us
as a family car, as opposed to a M-B B-Class, but I have to accept
the fact that Peugeot won't be back here for many years, if at all
(the weenie chicken sh*ts), and then probably only with their large
cars, contrary to the advice most of us give them....LOL
