No I'm not.  I was talking about two different things.

A. Wanting an AMC product. (I like the looks and nostalgia)
B. Seeing an operational Peugeot dealership. (Not at all common in the 
US)

The only relationship between the two in this message is that a lot of 
people lump both products in the CRAP bin... other examples are:

Yugo, (French Cars... Sorry), the Edsel, (Italian Cars <> to 
super-cars... i.e. Fiat), Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, etc.

Cars and manufacturers that tended to make the 10 worst cars of all 
time list.  The Gremlin was included on that.  I still like some of 
them.  I even think the Renault Dauphine is cute despite being one of 
the worst cars of all time.  I also like Pinto hatchbacks.
