Citroen planning North American return

Citroen says they are planning a North American return by 2008... But wait... not to the U.S.; to Canada first says president of Citroen. He stated saying that if sales go well in Canada, then they will move south of the border and most likely split dealerships with Mitsubishi. So Citroen is kind of putting Canada in a guinea pig situation. What do you readers think?

I believe Mitsubishi/Citroen can produce a series of luxury vehicles to challenge the souless offerings of Toyota.

How many SUVs/crossovers are Lexus planning on introducing to the North American market in the forthcoming years.

Agreed C-Metisse Concept is very cool.

I would check them out.

This is fantastic news [if true that they'll come to the US] for two reasons:
(i.) More competition is good for the consumer - especially when Citroen designs are often stunning
(ii.) It'll help Mitsubishi dealers who have had a raw time the last few years

Citroen makes excellent cars, sadly they are overlooked half the time..

Citroen better hope the French gov't doesn't piss off Uncle Sam again when/if they do come overseas.

I really don't see how they're going to compete though. I've only heard a few things about them (not positive) regarding reliability and their design kind of stinks. I doubt they can compete on price with the cost of French labour.

btw, that looks like a RAV4 with an accident for a nose.

Should've read the article more closely. They're coming to Canada first. Well, they can always sell in Quebec. We're even less faithful to American cars, opting for Japanese/Korean. I'm going to say now that Citroen will follow Renault back to Europe.
