I have to admit the newest french car I owned was a 2 litre 306 in Diablo red - it was great. No issues. The 505 I had was brilliant. As was the other 306. And the 205.
Fair points though, all the french things post 2001 are poo. Except some Renault Sport offerings.
I think it's a massive shame that modern citroens are so dull. Their current efforts are to superficial to be really innovative or interesting.

The XUD engine, used in generators alot. But lets not forget that its a citroen engine not a pug one.. 1.7 turbos do headgaskets so break the cam, or cam cap. The 2.0 turbo stuck in the rover is a peach of an engine tho.

Peugeot built a legendary diesel engine and stuck to pretty much the same design for decades, so much so, I believe Nissan created something extremely similar but significantly more efficient.
Citroen haven't built a decent car for years and had a period in the 90's where the finishing on the car was substandard even when compared to British cars produced in the midlands in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Renault - after the Sport Spider there's been nothing of any real note.
I accept that their concept cars have been interesting over the years, but their cars are abominations.
