206 based SUV? Is there an left American still small enough to fit into one? Maybe it will come with a porta power to spread it to fit. Bob

  Thanks for posting this. SUVs have growing market share in Europe,   so PSA is interested in protecting its market in Europe by having   SUVs to sell. But the ability to offer an SUV in North America would   make a US return more likely. Apparently, Peugeot conducted a market   survey in US a few years ago and part of the study was devoted to the   consumer's view of a Peugeot SUV. They've also made a SUV concept,   based on the 206.
