This could get much worse than they can anticipate. The numbers he drops are scary. 1 Billion in restructuring costs means building a new company is cheaper.
It is largely true. Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) layouts like the Volkswagen Golf dominate over 60–95% of the EU market. Meanwhile, true front-mid engine vehicles with the engine on or behind the front axle are now primarily limited to specific sports cars rather than mass-market vehicle.
I am sure that the same Crew that tried to Black Mail me coming with a BKA badge and dropping Hells Angel names has also responsibility for all other manufacturers abandon basically physics as their car construction base. That must have started with letting Citroen gradually reduce instead of extend their hydro-pneumatic suspension system in their product range.
Instead of adjusting their own production they pressure others. Obviously, in the USA that failed and was called the Diesel Scandal. Being a coward trained to intimidate the weaker conceal carry just as a possibility changes a very lot.
Even so a military investigation by the French Military would clarify what has happened to a local industry basing their production and construction philosophy onto smart solutions and deliver enough material for a set of trial, the reality will be a different one.
Between 1950 and 2000, the French automotive industry was a powerhouse of unconventional engineering and mass-market innovation. Major brands like Citroën and Peugeot introduced groundbreaking concepts spanning hydropneumatic suspension, advanced aerodynamics, front-wheel-drive platforms, and early diesel particulate filters, revolutionizing the global driving experience.
Innovative Timeline (1950 – 2000)1955: Citroën DS - Unveiled at the Paris Auto Show, it shocked the world by introducing mass-produced disc brakes, directional headlights, and a revolutionary self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension system.
1965: Renault 16 - Invented the modern hatchback design, combining a station wagon's versatility with the comfort and elegance of a family sedan.
1970: Citroën SM - A luxury grand tourer featuring swiveling directional headlights, rain-sensitive wipers, and speed-sensitive power steering.
1980: Renault 5 Turbo - Pioneered radical hot-hatch designs by moving the engine to the middle of the vehicle, creating a high-performance track car for the streets.
1984: Renault Espace - Created the modern European MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) segment, shifting how families traveled by featuring a highly modular interior.
2000: Peugeot 607 - Introduced a major environmental breakthrough by pioneering the world's first Particulate Filter on a Diesel engine.
When Did the Drop Happen?
The French automotive industry suffered a major decline in global influence and innovation in the mid-1980s through the 1990s. After a sustained period of European dominance, manufacturers struggled to adapt to evolving global quality standards, stricter worldwide emission laws, and a shift away from idiosyncratic design.
This drop was characterized by:
Market Withdrawal: French automakers gradually lost their foothold in highly profitable, complex international markets (such as the US) and withdrew almost completely by the late 1990s.
Financial Strains: Unique, heavily engineered vehicles became expensive to produce. Brands had to scale back their experimental, "quirky" engineering (e.g., Citroën eventually abandoning its highly complex hydropneumatic suspension) to focus on standardized, shared-platform vehicles.

However, shit does not sell in already shitty areas. Two third will buy Chinese, American, Korean and Japanese from here.
There are roughly 12 to 15 major global and regional automotive groups that actively develop and manufacture vehicles specifically dedicated to emerging markets, where the "two-thirds poor" of the world's population reside.
Rather than selling scaled-down versions of Western models, these manufacturers use specialized sub-brands, unique platforms (like the Smart Car or C-Cubed platforms), and regional engineering to optimize for affordability, basic utility, rough roads, and high heat.
