Peugeot-Citroen: The All-American Car Company?

[ELVIS]

Any aluminum head four cylinder is infamous for head and head gasket problems secondary to lack of routine maintenance leading to overheating...

I've driven four cylinder cars like a madman all my life and never blew a head gasket...

I've spun a few bearings though...

I have been looking at used CTS-V's sedans and wagons.

My Son has a sedan. Had to have major engine work before 20k.

One of my customers wife had one. She despised it. Just traded it in on a brand new Edge.

I am with you Elvis. I am never buying new again.

Ever driven a VW Jetta tdi? Loving that car. I spend about $200 a month on diesel fuel when I would have spent about $700 on gas.

The torque is ridiculous. I am never buying a gas car again.

Check out this video...this is where you really appreciate the diesel...dude is going uphill, passing cars at will and the engine is just humming along with little effort. I swear that engine could go at that speed uphill all day long and want more.

This is the passat which is about 200-300 lbs more than the Jetta with the same engine.

220 kms per hour is about 140 mph

If I bought a Volkswagen it would be a Phaeton. Same platform as a Bentley Continental.

[Romeo Delight]

isn't it over 400 horse and 400 foot lbs of torque? Yeah

[Romeo Delight]

The way I looked at it was it was an actual ROI (that the Hybrids just don't deliver yet) and with some performance.

Compared to a gas car, VW is paying me to drive their vehicle when I look at the fuel savings versus a typical gas vehicel.

[twonabomber]

I kept my gas guzzlers and bought a house closer to work.

My big Jeeps probably get 10 mpg.

This isn't bad to pull your boat...

516 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and fuel consumption levels of just 2.7 L/100 km. That is insane

Can't wait

[Nickdfresh]

The Cruz comes in a turbo-diesel now; I think it gets like 46mpg...

[FORD]

Can't wait

That thing looks like they tried to mate a Touraeg with a Tesla Roadster.

So would that mean it's half diesel and half electric??

[Romeo Delight]

It's the perfect combination for us in the Pacific Northwest...electric for when we are stuck in traffic, and the diesel to take our boat out on the weekends. Everyone on my block has a 50-70k truck that must cost them 800 per month to drive in fuel. They need it for their boat. What if there was an option like this? I think it would sell

[Von Halen]

The Ram will be available with a diesel in its 1500 later this year. They are going to sell the fuck out of those. GM and Ford will be scrambling.
