It is about the reader, the winner of the 35th anniversary contestAutoPlus, the brand new Suzuki Ignis was offered. Real luck for a first-timer. The strange thing is that if he did fill out his ballot, it was only thanks to his son’s persistence. Phenomenon, moreover, this Theodore. At 11 years old, he already asks expert questions and knows Auto Plus At the fingertips. While touring the Ignis I wondered aloud that the G plate series was coming to an end, “Junior” came to remind me that I just needed to read the plate more carefully.page 13 of the newspaper to find the pose. Or how to get a nose from a child to whom I could become a grandfather!

Anyway, this golden family also gave us a wonderful gift that day. To see father and son share such enthusiasm for our paper has already touched us, but above all they have paid us the greatest compliments, noting the seriousness and impartiality of our articles. Qualities that have always been important to us, although some “haters” suspect us of preferring French, German, premium models, Dacia, etc.

Suffice it to say that by confessing my enthusiasm here in the face of Renault’s current audacity, I am exposing myself to a number of unwanted messages from those who accuse us of rolling out the red carpet at Losange (such a large cohort than one pity there is only one for Peugeot ). Damage. Because seriously, whether or not we’re tempted by the style of his upcoming models, you’d have to show a huge amount of bad faith not to acknowledge the brand’s creative efforts.

Also, I wonder what would happen to these heroes of the longstanding feud between Peugeot and Renault fans if the two manufacturers merged. This hypothesis is no longer completely excluded, as Carlos Tavares, the all-powerful boss of Peugeot and Stellantis, has suggested that a new alliance with another major group (after Opel and Fiat) cannot be avoided. Logically, Ford or GM, but the Renault option would not be 100% out of the question. Believable?

I will ask Theodore, I will answer you later.
