This is why French Cars are NOT Sold in the United States...

In this video, we explore the fascinating history of French automakers in the United States, the challenges they faced, and why they ultimately pulled out of the market. We also dive into the one French brand that thrives in America-Bugatti-and discuss whether French cars might make a comeback in the future.

..... Are you high? Or just incredibly stupid?

[@nickkaarslev290]

Fun fact, the Porsche 911, would actually have been named 901, but Peugeot owns the right to a 3 digit model name, with a 0 in the middle, therefore porsche had to name it 911.

[@mistertrick]

to clarify, Peugeot announced returning to the US in 2026 back in 2019 when it was still PSA Peugeot, this is before they merged with Fiat Chrysler to become Stellantis, to my knowledge those plan may have been scraped as the merger automatically gave them brands in the US

they have choosen Alfa Romea instead of peugeot to return in usa . But renault returns in 2027 with sport brand Alpine

[@Zavier-TheFox-Hutchings]

I didn’t even know French cars weren’t popular in the US, they are all over the place in the uk. I mean, we have one, the people down the road have one, my neighbour had one (a Renault 5 Turbo, to be exact), a friend of mine has one. Honestly, French cars over here are like big SUVs to the US - everyone ether has one, or you know someone who has one

[@tl3525]

Quick, informative, with no production errors that I could notice. Your doing great bro

[@stephen10.]

Renault returns in USA in 2027 with the sport brand Alpine .

[@zeScenzo]

Alpine a110 of course. I fell in love with the car since I first seen it in MFG

[@scuzzjumper]

My mom bought the Alliance new in 1983-84. Fine car.

[@zabde-ezraayienga5353]

Growing up in Kenya in the early 60's exposed me to French cars, especially Peugorts and Renaults. They are great vehicles, even if the US market does not think so!

[@gravy7103]

I expected this channel to have at least 50k subscribers. This video is great

[@ExclusiveAutoMotive]

🙏 appreciate it

[@RDMracer]

Sometimes I wonder how much the Americans could have loved the Citroën C6

[@proGamer-nb2lp]

my favorite Peugeot is 4:05 it is good

The French, along with the Germans, were the first to produce cars, at the end of the 19th century. And before the Second World War, French cars were the most luxurious in the world, with brands like Delage, Delahaye, Voisin, Talbot, Hispano-Suiza, Bugatti, etc. All over the world, true collectors know this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apfYpZ2YYrSaa5Y If since 1945, French manufacturers have mainly targeted the family car segment, it is mainly for tax reasons, which have not prevented them from producing some of the most beautiful machines of recent decades, such as the Facel Vega, in the 50s/60s, or more recently the Venturi, in the 80s/90s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXarlZinq5iFn8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqeTfWCrd9-Xpbs In 2025, French manufacturers are still ranked among the the world top 10. They sell on all continents, except North America. Otherwise, one of the reasons why French cars have never really worked in the US is that, in my opinion, the general mood in this country is quite anti-French.

[@Vendor_status]

Reminds me of that one episode of top gear where they talk about how the french don't want a pickup anf the americans don't want a renault

[@Abattoir_Jonson]

Bro!! this is your first video??? Nice!! Keep it up

[@hiiamherethesimpleplanesgu8648]

Just to be clear most large SUV's aren't even safer than a fiat 500 to drive because of thier stif frames, tendency to roll over and thier lack of safety precautions which is because they count as 'light trucks' which have different safety guidelines than cars. Sorry for my excessive japping😅

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

We should probably note that Bugatti is not actually a French car company. It is a division of VW which makes BS car's as part of the marketing

[@hiiamherethesimpleplanesgu8648]

Btw great video keep it going !!

[@DexyFex2]

make a video about SAAB, please!! im a big saab fan, and if u dont know what SAAB is then it was an airplane company that became a car company, that became bought by GM and got bankrupt, and also a little about NEVS! and my feetback about this video is that its pretty good, I like the editing! Keep up the good work (your the next donut)

[@ExclusiveAutoMotive]

Appreciate the support! I love SAAB , maybe I’ll do a video about Swedish cars as I also love Volvo

[@zetteru_Na]

It was actually only the car side of SAAB that was bought by GM and driven to bankrupt. Also partially coz of SAAB being SAAB and not wanting to comform to GM path. Good ol classic Swedish stubborness

[@doubledubska5899]

Dude when i saw this videos views i was amazed. It feels like it should have 200k views. Its so well done, especially for a first video. Keep it up and this channel will blow up. Id be interested in a deep dive on how Japanese cars became so popular in the US or something along those lines

[@ExclusiveAutoMotive]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the support and suggestion 🙏

[@melonsdad7498]

Great video, but there is one thing, Bugatti is not french actually, but french did great before WW2, you can look up for avions voisins. Also should have mentioned the Renault Spyder, great car.

[@Petelfc88]

The pronunciation 😂. You got Citroen correct. Peugeot is pronounced per Joe or pew Joe by some. Renault you pronounce ok but you don’t annunciate it Like ren NO …. just renno some people do pronounce it ren ult All 3 of these manufacturers do make big executive salon cars as well as medium sized salons.

[@Soupraa_HUN]

0:40 I don't feel like this is true at all, while cars like a c3 c4 xsara or a 206 are known for being cheap and fairly reliable, french cars are definitely known for being comfortable. also, sidewalks in the US?

[@flopjul3022]

ye especially older Citroen with the hydropneumatic suspension. but they are basically cheap cars that offer a lot. especially second hand

[@saif-1420]

BRO LOVE FROM TÜRKIYE KEEEP GOING BROOO🎉❤

[@edwardthecar2300]

I really want the 2008 purgeot 108 please 🥺

[@milkyblue2519]

[@BarneyHatch]

Al Pine? Is that Uncle Leo's friend Al?

[@sanderkago267]

what about the ram promaster, looks like Renault master?

[@stephen10.]

it 's stellantis and it is common with Fiat , peugeot , citroen and now US brand

[@Saluexia]

You’ve clearly never seen a Renault Master The Ram Promaster is a Fiat Ducato and that looks nothing like a Renault Master

[@andrewmontague9682]

Hearing Americans mispronounce things really gets old quickly…

[@n3sqek]

renault clio sport v6 for sure

[@TerbrugZondolop]

The pronunciation of Peuuuujoooooo is enough for EU to tariff US. Too terrible.

[@LibertyGoblin]

Nice.

[@simoncussonet9266]

Bugatti belongs to Volkswagen

[@ppppd12]
