Peugeot has been around for a long time, it's very big in Europe... and racing. It's one of the first cars ever developed, going back to maybe the 1860's. Their diesels have been around for a long time too. We drove them for 20 years until they stopped importing them into the U.S. Our first was a stick shift diesel, then we had 2 diesel automatics. They were all great. We currently have a Ford Excursion diesel that we love. We're seriously looking at the VW diesels right now for a second car for errands, daily driving, etc. I guess you could say, "We love diesels."
