That would be weird, should Trump go full retard with import tarif, the reciprocal tarif on US goods to europe would wipe GM out of the area at once, if they do not have a local company to produce inside the tariff zone.

Nice cars but with the cost of gas in europe they are not hot cakes.
Not clear what Peugeot is looking for in the deal. When Renault bought Nissan, they bought a company that was making very different models (luxury with Infinity, SUV/pickups), and was operating in a very different region set (Asia, North America). Opel and Peugeot operate in the exact same geographic area and propose very similar ranges of models.
