Update on the Peugeot 107 in North America

Following up on the AutoBlogGreen exclusive photos of a Peugeot 107 along with two more spotted the next day on the roads of Livonia, MI, there is more news from Wards AutoWorld. Peugeot is a corporate stablemate of Citroen under the banner of PSA in France. In Europe Citroen sells a badge engineered version of the Peugeot 107 called the C1. Apparently Citroen is seriously looking at getting back into the Canadian market, particularly with diesel engines. Gas prices are considerably higher in Canada than the US and the diesel regulations aren't as strict. Citroen feels that small diesel cars could well in Canada. They also feel that the French badged cars will do well in French speaking Quebec. So it seems likely that the Peugeot's that are being tested are actually destined for the northern market with Citroen badges.
