I live in Ontario, and I see about 1 Peug per month. My 505 is
usually garaged year round, especially in the winter. If you'd
checked out the west end of Toronto, your odds of Peug sightings
would have increased since there are a couple Peug garages there.
But even they don't see many Lions anymore.
A few years ago, people were buying 505's and 504's cheap, and
sending them to Africa for parts, or another 20 years of service.
But I'm sure far more of these cars died from rust and neglectful
owners, being that this is the 'salt belt'.
