Once upon a time there was a man who loved driving cars.  He wanted a car that was just right for city driving, that didn't eat up too much fuel or the big part of his monthly salary.  That usually meant buying a sedan from the land called Nippon.  Now the small Nipponese sedans that he saw on the road were innovative and pleasant to look at and drive.  There was one he liked called the City, which had a clever CVT and safety features usually found only in more expensive cars.

The man saw many Cities on the streets and he thought he wanted something different.  He looked and he looked until he came across a shop selling cars that had a large lion on its window.  It had a name that he could hardly spell and that twisted his tongue: Peugeot.

Upon entering the shop, he saw a bright red hatchback called the 206.  He smiled immediately, a wide grin that he would wear each time he would catch sight of it. The car's lines struck him as sharp and friendly, like an agile canine ready to do his every bidding.  Its slanted eyes were particularly enticing, an invitation to come inside and try her out.  He called his car the Red Pug.
