I was not talking about the current political silliness. I recall in the late 1950's and 1960's I would see the occassional peugeot, citroen or renault but they were never very common. Certainly nothing like VW, toyota or honda. After the US enacted various, safety laws, they seemed to disappear except for the occassional renault. Perhaps, they just didn't sell enough of them to make it worthwhile to build to US specs (lights, bumber height, impact bumpers, etc).
