...Peugeot's $2,230 model 204, sportiest of all the French lines, a handsome, Italianate design, has a smaller engine than the Volkswagen but at its 86 m.p.h. top speed is 10 m.p.h. faster than the beetle...
...European automakers. U.S.-owned or controlled companies now account for about a third of all cars built in Europe. G.M.'s Vauxhall, British Ford and Chrysler-controlled Rootes Motors together produce nearly 50% of all British-made cars.

They bundled him into a police Peugeot, and took him to a villa in suburban Fontenay-le-Vicomte. It has since been established that Oufkir, accompanied by the head of the Moroccan secret police, flew from Rabat to Paris next day. Whether by coincidence or not, Ben Barka was never seen again...
