Nowadays Citroen is boring as fuck but Peugeot is getting way better with the 3008 and 508. Renault is average but Renault Sport is amazing with the Clio or Mégane RS. The chassis and the suspensions are amazing. They make affordable and fun cars. But with the new CO2 regulations it's tricky for them to make fun hot hatch.
You can say whatever you want about French and european cars but at least they are not borrrrrring lol.
Knowing the French, they probably surrendered them
A bit unappropriate, say that to my friends who are in the army and went to Syria, Afghanistan, Irak, Mali, Tchad and few other countries in Africa. I'm not gonna speak about politic because it's not the place.
If you are going to call out Japanese manufacturers as copy & cheats, you will need to lump in your Ohlins into that category too. Researching, reverse engineering and improving on a design does not make you a cheater. EVERY auto manufacturer buys cars from others to break it down and get "inspiration" for other ideas. Being first to do so doesn't make you any better than the next person do it.

Japaneses were famous for that, they buy their competitor's cars and dismantle everything ( most of the companies do that anyway ). Chinese, Korean, Indian, Japanese are famous for inspection and spying prototypes and pre production cars. One of my friends worked few times at the Geneva Auto show and he told how creative spies are. One was disguised as an old man and try to touch the paint of a prototype with a walking stick lol. He was apparently a spy. The best copy and paste is the Hyundai Genesis basically a Mercedes S class and the Dahatsu Gino which is a Mini.
You can buy a Renault Twizy and Bugatti in Canada ( yes it's French, Molsheim is still in France but the engine is made in Germany and many parts are from the VAG group). Peugeot and Citroen want to come back but they need to make bigger engines and more SUV to make money in North America. Few Nissans have Renault's engine and plateform, Renault sell diesel engines to Mercedes and the Smart is basically a Renault Twingo. Some small Fiat and Dodge mini van share the same plateform than Peugeot and Citroen vehicles too.

His previous ad had a few engine bay photos. The M-Factory oil cooler hoses run above the trans beside the head. Other than that, it just looked dirty.
I wish I had the space. Great track car potential. P1 splitter so the near-irreplaceable front lip can be stored away, Motons, big wang, buckets/Autopower/harnesses, tires; track time. I look at the ad every day
Also there is a sonic grey CTR sitting at Nanaimo Honda for anyone looking for one in stock.

I have decided to begin the process of selling my ITR. I figured I'd mention it here first since this group is local and bit more intimate. Posting on Craigslist is annoying and considering the Bring a Trailer route is not really desirable for me due to time constraints. But I can certainly go that route if a sale doesn't happen through spreading the word through the grapevine. Like my previous ITR, a nice quiet transaction away from the public eye is preferred but failing that I have no problem going through the normal (albeit annoying) channels to sell.
2000 Acura Integra Type R - 81,830kms, Championship White, no A/C, Ontario car until I bought it June 2016. I am the 4th owner. Mostly stock, additional parts to go with it including some juicy rare bits. Clean enough to be considered having collectible value but not too clean to where it can't be driven.
Don’t tempt me! Almost want to give the RS to the wife, pick up an ITR to daily in the summer and winter drive the SVT
Edit: aww not this Ian? </3
Do it other Ian! White Rockets is way nicer than mine but I am likely going to sell mine and try a European car again.
Thanks for the heads up Alex (both Alex!)
