Peugeot quietly exits tennis

[HFK]

My father owned a green Peugeot 504 between 1970 and 1975. It caused a lot of trouble, so he sold it.

Station wagon? Those were legendary.

I am actually very surprised bout this sponsorship deal, can't he find better cars to pitch? If not Mercedes or BMW, how about Lexus, Toyota, or Honda, but seriously KIA? at least Hyundai!

Rafa is loyal to KIA. I'm sure he's turned loads of offers.

 

[clayqueen]

It's surprising that Peugeot didn't sponsor a single French player.

 

[LaVie en Rose]

They used to sponsor ,Simon, Pouille ,Chardy

 

[aldeayeah]

Your post has a typo

same but GTI instead of Rallye

Fiat can't sell anywhere outside of Italy and Brazil, and even in those markets they were losing market share

In 2022, Fiat dropped to 13.6% market share in Italy, its lowest ever

FIAT - Means, Fix it again Tony.

well I am familiar with Peugeot and its sister brand Citroën from the same parent company PSA, but both are in the decline since 1990s. And in 2021, PSA merged with Fiat/Chrysler to form a new mega corp. Stellantis, the timeline matched here, after the merge, Peugeot exited the sponsorship deals, I don't blame them, Stellantis has more profitable brands like Fiat, Jeep and Chrysler etc in their portfolio, why waste money on dying brands?

Peugeot/Citroen still sell a bunch in Spain

No, a Sedan model

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Peugeot quietly exited the USA decades ago. Nobody noticed.

 

[junior74]

LOL nice joke. If only fans of certain retiree not tennis would take this advice and leave General PPD

At this point, there should probably be one section weak era talk, one for slam race - Rafa/ Nole related, and one for all the other players

All these irrelevant topics are bery confusing

Djokovic was previously had a watch sponsor in Seiko...

He is now sponsored by Hublot, the brand every watch enthusiast loves to hate

Djokovic has too much hair

At this point, there should probably be one section weak era talk, one for slam race - Rafa/ Nole related, and one for all the other players

All these irrelevant topics are bery confusing

Who creates those weak era threads,hypotheticals “my dad is stronger than yours IF I say soo”....Indeed bery confusing

They couldn't sign the main man, the Great Rafael Nadal, who has stayed loyal to KIA since he was a teenager.

Yeah right, he needs to be paid well for his "loyalty".

 

[jm1980]

They used to sponsor ,Simon, Pouille ,Chardy

Peugeot sponsored Simon and Chardy until 2018, and Pouille until 2019. Not to sure on this last one because Pouille only played one Challenger in 2020 due to injury. By the time he came back in 2021, he was no longer with Peugeot

They also gave us one of the better commercials featuring Novak:

Must been on pilgrimage
In non related thread come ill informed about topic just to pray &worship feet of their God.Lol

Peugeot sponsored Simon and Chardy until 2018, and Pouille until 2019

It can be concluded plan was to slowly withdraw from sponsoring tennis.What is happening with Pouille does he play at all now?I know he had wrists /elbow injuries

One of the absolute best tennis ads!

 

[jm1980]

He's still playing, but in Challengers because his ranking dropped like a brick

They should have made Novak drive on court in this after winning 2021 RG:

Most loyal KIA ambassador

 

[jm1980]

Most loyal KIA ambassador

What's hilarious is Rafa also owned an Aston Martin DBS, and when asked about it, he claimed he prefers his Kia over the DBS. Like, who does he think he's fooling?

"I prefer the Kia over the Aston Martin, it's much more comfortable for me" - Nadal

Rafa Nadal: "Prefiero el Kia antes que el Aston Martin, es mucho más cómodo para mí"

El tenista Rafa Nadal confiesa que apenas conduce el Aston Martin porque no es tan confortable como los modelos de Kia, marca que patrocina al deportista español desde hace varios años.

It's OK to own more than one car.

Those are the two countries where the Fiat brand has a significant market share. I don't know of any others.

Argentina

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Never even heard of them before Novak and others were being sponsored. I guess it’s a kind of luxury brand but I’ve never seen one person in the US or Europe drive one.

It's one of the best selling car brands i Europe. They are not a luxury brand, they're pretty middle of the road.

 

[80s New Wave]

Most of you (Americans) people are old enough that you should remember that Peugeot actually sold cars in the US in the 80s. Maybe I’m just a car geek that I know that.

My family had a Peugeot, Citroën and Renault at various times when I was young here in the US.

 

[Third Serve]

I'm going to be honest, this whole time I thought that was the name of a watch brand, not a car.

You too?

 

[MeatTornado]

You too?

I didn't feel as dumb after I looked them up and found out they haven't sold in the US since before I was born.

News of Peugeot's demise are greatly exaggerated

Europe’s most popular car is now the Peugeot 208

The Volkswagen Golf loses the top spot after 14 years

[Slicehand]

I had a peugeot once, nice looking but horrible electronics that ended putting away the car

I mean, it probably is. Driving posture in those supercars is terrible.
