heads up Danny, there are plenty here who insight with the comments which you've reacted to..
Be strong and ignore. you(we) with logic are seroiusly out numbered here .
Peugeot, Renault, Citroen,Simca, Talbot . have all had success in a variety of motorsport.
They share a few common trates, Comfortable. economical,style. they're dwon fall especially in the last 15 years (Simca, Talbot exempt) is electrical/electronics
ceasing the opportunity to lambaste east Geman or eastern european / Russian cars is due to the economic climate and standards they were constructed in.
My choice is the Austin Allegro
this car epitomised the final nail in the coffin of so many British build..BMC. cars. in the late 70-80's
A combination of poor build quality,poor economy shocking road holding and no motorsport success.
