Did the French ever make a good car?

Thread split from VIP Master list, so that thread stays slim and focused.

also reserved. For all of Greg's cars that he's going to buy coming up.. Citroen's, Peugot's, Tommy Kaira's etc

Um...did they ever make any nice Citroens or Peugeots? Other then the 2CV6 of course...Maybe a TK edition? I'll still hold out for the TK March.

Did the French build cool cars? Oh did they ever. How about the T16...


Then it gets better:


Yes, it's mid-engined. No, we can't have it.

[GregA]

Ok, you got one...Is that it?

[Soren]

I've got one for you *that I want!

[hosmer]

You can find R5 turbos on eBay pretty regularly

Those Clio sport 24v V6's are pretty cool but I've read they handle like crap...

I guess Bugatti is french too...What with the EB110, and that other car...The Veron, Venom? Whatever it's call, no one likes it anyway, weak power, no fun, etc...

I can name a handful. Nothing mad though. Once group B died in a fire, the Japanese took over the rally scene. That's why we here gush over impezas 24/7.

And, oh well, the French do own Nissan.

[Xanicron]

Also the Germans own Bugatti now.

[BulldogBros]

The Renault Sport Spiders were pretty cool!

Oh really?
The past 10 years only 2 times Subaru and all the rest is Citroen and Peugeot.
Sebastian Loeb an unprecedented 7 times WRC champion (probably this year too) with Citroen.
