I’ve said for years the PSA product line-up is a pig’s ear – neither brand knows whether it’s a value or premium brand, both Peugeot and Citroën sell budget and premium models with crossovers at various points in the range. At the bottom-end Citroëns are the cheapy cars, Peugeot Citroën then compete with each other in the mid-range, further up, Citroën become the premium models and then Peugeot have an expensive Coupe plonked at the top of the PSA price structure!

Peugeot should be a low budget brand to compete with the likes of Dacia, Citroën being the premium versions of the various platforms. Something everybody can understand. Sure there will be some upset Peugeot die-hards that rememebr when Peugeot were this that or the other - tough - Citroën made the Goddess - and that's a good enough reason to be top of the PSA pile!

Honestly, I don't know how these board members earn their crust half the time - the boards seem to be filled with idiots.

I'm told Renault UK is desperate for Renault group to sell right hand versions of the Dokker and Lodgy.

They can see a market that remains unfulfilled.

I've never fully understood why Peugeot and Citroen built what was essentially the same car with subtle body differences on 2 production lines to compete with themselves (I'm thinking the old SAXO - Pug 106 plus some of the other models they did that were based on the same running gear and made for the same price point).

There is enough manufacturers out there to compete with, Without competing with yourself.

DS as a luxury brand.

It took Toyota about 10 years to establish itself - and that is with unbeatable relaibility 1st for years in the JD POwers.

Maybach ? tried and failed..

Ford? Tried and failed (Ghia)

GM: Cadillac outside teh US? failure in Europe.

Given PSA's last attempt - the Citroen C6 - was notorious for faults, I'd give PSA 25 years.. and no chance of success based on current reliability...

Being honest about the above, don't want any of them!
