(I tried to post a comment saying that it was a C3 and not a New Beetle but my message does not seem to appear...)
(edit: and now my message appears three times )

Someone abandoned an old Peugeot 505 in my neighborhood last year. It was there for like 6 months before it was towed away.
Also, when I was in Ottawa, i saw a Citroen C6 at the French embassy. Interesting looking car, to say the least.

It seems that there in USA many of the recent Peugeot seen are registered in New Jersey, this probably has a link with the fact that the last official Peugeot garage/office in USA is there.

e.g. 407 Coupé restyled 307:

Neptune will like the 307 pic.

A 307 in New Jersey?

... and yes, I like that little car (don’t really know why, I just do)

It's not impossible to buy one you see

Indeed ...

Well, it is: these are not general public plates, they are manufacturer plates (or something like that). It is still not possible for anyone to easily register a Peugeot in USA as far as I know.

And a 407 SW:

But what the hell are they doing there??!! Id really love to see the reaction of an american car fan seing one of these on the road

Note that it is still the same series of manufacturer plates. Sure that Peugeot is doing something there...

Hmm, the question is what...

There have been rumours that Peugeot is thinking of returning to the US market, so perhaps they've shipped cars over for market research and/or testing to see whether it would be possible to "federalize" them. Evidently, as a manufacturer they have some leeway to import non-compliant cars for their own use. Perhaps they're officially regarded as prototypes.

Article about importing cars in USA:
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/15/grey-anatomy-how-to-import-vehicles-from-overseas/

In Canada, the ministry of transportation publishes a list of cars that can be imported. Only cars that are 15 years or older or on the list can be imported.

Maybe a test for Nissan or GM (as this van exists as Nissan, Opel and Vauxhall)

The Master nice! ive checked the whole post dedicated to the european cars in the US, how interesting, there are models that are ncie to see there, they have to be pure rarities just great, i wonder if, in the cases like this Master, or the Avantime that i saw that had never been sold there officially, the headlights have been changed... because if not, they cannot be driven overnight or can they?

In movies 'Gone in 60 Seconds' and the unreleased sequal. 1962 Peugeot 404: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_5785-Peugeot-404-1962.html
Renault Encore: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_47203-Renault-Encore-X37-1983.html

Well the thing is to find them nowadays, and the Encore is not specially that rare compared to others, we already have a few in movies, dont post those links here, not to be rude but, as i said the thing is to find "real pictures" of them in the streets

Sorry, I was not paying attention.
