cause their advance team has done an environment check for days, snipping spots manned by Secret Service. It is practically impossible to snip any head of state in an official public function in this age.

The American president traditionally rides in a Cadillac or Lincoln limousine. In most other countries, they tend to use German or British cars, but chauffeuring their new president to his inauguration in either would be unthinkable for the French – who have their own automotive industry, merci beaucoup.

So what to do when most Renaults, Peugeots, and Citroëns are too low-rent for the purpose, and a Bugatti would be too silly and impractical (even for the French)? Here's your answer.

For the inauguration of President Emmanuel Macron, PSA created this special DS 7 Crossback – based on the flagship model in the French automaker's premium lineup, but upgraded for the purpose
.

The Presidential DS 7 is done up in a special ink-blue paint, with a black leather interior, official state insignia and flags, and gold details on the wheels and in the cabin. Most unique about this particular DS 7, though, is the roof: the state limousine has a convertible top to transform the crossover into a parade car so that the gathered masses on the Champs-Elysées can catch a glimpse of their new head of state – even in the rain.

You probably didn't know you contradicted your position on your above bold statements.

DS brand is owned by Peugeot (PSA). In other words, DS is Peugeot, same way Toyota owns Lexus (Lexus is Toyota).

The DS 7 is same platform with Peugeot 3008. And same Peugeot 3008 won the 2017 European Car of the Year, even with all other car brands all over the world used in Europe that aimed for that position. Yet you considered Peugeot as "too low-rent" (in your words)? And still wondered why the President chose the DS 7 (Peugeot 3008)?

Maybe you don't know that Peugeot (PSA) currently owns more than 4 brands: Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel, Vauxhall, etc.

Being a car journalist or blogger is an interesting career. But you have to choose how to go about it: To be sectional or worldwide. If you choose worldwide, then don't limit your knowledge in Auto industry in North America. There are lot good things also going on in automobile industry outside Canada and USA, if you choose to know them.

Of course I know but the possibility is still there. An advance team can only sniff out dangers, block out spots they feel. What of the danger of personnel that maybe a turncoat or double agent?

*thinking out aloud *

A man married to a woman old enough to be his grandmother, who he started dating at age 15 when she was his married school teacher.

No absolutely No nothing to emulate.

The issue is not gerentocracy being political thirsty is not age defined.

It was youthful exuberance leaders that started corruption in this country not the old. Just that these once youths are now old and older and continue what they started.

For instance Saraki who is the personification of. GENERATIONAL CORRUPTION still at the top of government.
