A large percentage of SUVs I see on the road are driven by members of
the fairer sex. I work in a building with around 300 people. The
tiniest women drive the SUVs. In fact, I can't think of the last time I
knew a small person who drove a small car.
The SUV is nothing more than a Stationwagon up a little higher.
I know two girls no more than 100 lbs. They drive - yup - SUVs.

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.

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.
