Peugeot In America
French automaker Peugeot could end up selling its new 408 sedan in the United States later this decade, according to Motor Trend. Apparently, the company is in talks with Mitsubishi to build the midsize sedan in its underutilized Normal, Illinois, plant.
Peugeot plans to sell the 408 — a successor to the 407 — in South America. While a North American plant brings production closer to the car's intended destination, there might be more to the move.
The report speculates that Peugeot would also sell the car in America — the world's largest car market — since it would be built here. Of course, certain obstacles — including French-U.S. relations — stand in the way, but time will tell.
Another theory is Mitsubishi will market a re-badged 408 as a successor to the Galant.
