Does Renault or Fiat even sell cars in the US anymore. They were all the rage in the late 70's, but people soon found out they were pieces of almost soviet quality crap.
An ad from the past.
Dig that surfboard dude, gotta be a good car.

President Jacques Chirac declared a state of emergency Tuesday, paving the way for curfews to be imposed on riot-hit cities and towns in an extraordinary measure to halt France's worst civil unrest in decades after 12 nights of violence.
Police, meanwhile, said overnight unrest Monday-Tuesday, while still widespread and destructive, was not as violent as previous nights.
"The intensity of this violence is on the way down," National Police Chief Michel Gaudin said, citing fewer attacks on public buildings and fewer direct clashes between youths and police. He said rioting was reported in 226 towns across France, compared to nearly 300 the night before.

State of emergency?
Apparently Jacqueass Sh*track, doesn't recognize a state of siege even as his buns are being toasted in the flames of one.
Yup. That's what they always do. Time and again throughout history, France goes the route of contain/appease/avoid - and that path fails them, every time.
Terrorist Alert in France.
AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced yesterday
that it has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide." The only
two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate."
Or as they put it on the Belmont Club,
"the 'millet' system of the former Ottoman Empire, where each religious community (millet) conducted its own social and cultural life in its own neighbourhoods, exist not only in France, but also in Muslim neighbourhoods in Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and other countries...."
Social, cultural, and legalautonomy, that's the gameplan.
I thought the plan was farting first, calling their mother a hamster, then taunting? : )
It has grown into a nationwide insurrection by disillusioned suburban youths, many French-born children of immigrants from France's former territories like Algeria. France's suburbs have long been neglected and their youth complain of a lack of jobs and widespread discrimination, some of it racial.
....many French-born children of immigrants from France's former territories like Algeria. Gotta love this one. The more discerning people know exactly what that means.
France is using fast-track trials to punish rioters, worrying some human rights campaigners.
France is burning, and human rights campaigners worry about the rights of insurgents. LOL.
Communist Party leader Marie-George Buffet said the decree could enflame rioters. "It could be taken anew as a sort of challenge to carry out more violence," she said.
Sounds alot like some people right here in the United States, doesn't it?
We ourselves are on the fast track to this sort of thing; what is happening in France is our future if we are not careful.
I hope it was Progressive Insurance. That's Peter Lewis' (a big lib on par with Soros) company.
Took him long enough!

I think it is more apt to ask whether you retain your ground or yield it to the insurgents.
Sure as heck, the "north african students" will own the territory they rioted through - except for the small patches close in to the center of Paris. The french will have to formally observe the defacto control that the rioters have claimed all along.
Diversity set in concrete is not the kind of 'containment' any government should desire.
Dixie was a minx. Thank god they never ran out of D5W Ringers Lactate, or what ever they used at every crash.
Sure, it's the same Gaulic attitude that prevailed in New Orleans. Once the hurricane had passed, get the evacuation going; once the riots begin to subside, declare a state of emergency.
"Leftist paradise could become fascist dictatorship in the blink of a political eye. Consider Napoleon, Franco, Mussolini, Hitler. History is full of instances where hopeless, incompetent governments are replaced by their opposite almost overnight."
There is no doubt that France is headed towards fascism. I believe it would be known as Frankistan, with sharia law.
Yes, that is the question, I agree.
As an answer,IMO, it may burn down now, but it will not be contained. No amount of taxpayer money will solve this, just like Attila bankrupted the Western Roman Empire's coffers when he threatened destruction or tribute.
To contain this requires the "youths" to integrate in to French society. It has to be their ( the "youths" desire.)
Now letting it burn down now is a short term solution. It is for me, and now and mine.
To confront it and risk worse, is a long term solution. A stand that will be for future generations, for their children to grow up in their France, that their future generations will not have to encounter the worse that will surely come from appeasement.
France is at a monumental turning point. A fight for their nation now with the knowledge of a better tomorrow or an appeasement with the desire for those today to not be inconvenienced.
A really difficult choice, I understand. But we must ask the same question of ourselves in this nation because we will have to confront the barbarians on our soil sooner or later.
A fight for the now and for the future, or to give up now with no regard of the future.
We have learned enough lessons of history, now is is the time to implement what has been gained from those lessons.
I think Jacques is acting too hastily. I mean, they've only been rioting for two weeks.
Wow! After twelve days
of riots, he's going to
tell the terrorists
they can't stay out late!
Zounds! It's like France is still run
by Nazi puppets . . .
Good point and a valid one - the French government has never been easy for the west to understand - they are afterall - foreigners.
I beleive the French have calculated that this population must be allowed to vent it's steam - this is not to say that damage is not awful - simply that they are choosing the less of two awful options.
They cannot win here - they will lose regardless.
