The Paris Auto Show is full of interesting cars Americans can’t have
Small EVs and efficient people carriers update familiar names for the modern age.
The Paris Auto Show has been showcasing cars that Americans cannot purchase. Once known for introducing new models, auto shows have since shifted their focus to other events. Automakers gradually pulled out of these shows, leaving little to see. The recent Paris Auto Show, however, appears to have returned to the era of automakers debuting new cars.
The show featured a retro feel with familiar nameplates reimagined. Renault, known for its concept cars, showcased several of them. Stellantis, including brands like Citroen, Peugeot, and Fiat, also had a strong presence. Despite this, it is likely that none of these cars will be available in the United States. The presence of these cars is frustrating, especially when considering that Stellantis' brands are known for similar trends. One such trend is the planned relaunch of a V8 Hellcat-powered Charger.
