C'est dommage!
I've always liked Peugeot's advanced sense of design and am one of legions of fans who'd hoped their 1986 Proxima concept-car would become a production reality. It was at least 30 years ahead of it's time. I guess the closest we saw to that (and many of their similar concepts that followed) was raced at LeMans.
No more, I guess - but I do hope the company survives as it's an important part of the French industrial economy and pride.
