The Auto Sleuth – April 7 , 2014

Overview

Use: Voted the best automotive news column available: you need it.

What it is: If you could have only one automotive feature, this should be it.

Our worldly gumshoe has his ear to the ground, digging up the latest news on everything from product launches and updates to names in the news. The column is solely driven by reader interest. No boring statistics or auto-company pap here, just the straight goods peppered with the Auto Sleuth’s commentary and speculative, gossipy-style.

It was a casual remark that began it all. A dare, a comment and a commitment to back up her words.
She was ready.
Lyn St. James had already spent time tooling around her father’s shop, learning about mechanics and quickly developing a proficiency and respect for all things that moved in the right order. She had already developed a fascination for cars. And she had decided to attend a drag race over the Ohio state line in Louisville, Ky., to watch a friend enter his Pontiac GTO and lose.

Description

In the history of manufacturing, few bloodlines have had as much direct influence on the way we live our lives as the Peugeots.
Nestled in the “Doubs” district of eastern France, they were industrialists who began their own revolution; they were mass producers before the 20th century production cycle had firmly taken shape.
