Peugeot was nearly bankrupt in 2014, and was bailed out by the French govt and the Dongfeng car maker, each of them are 14% owners, along with the Peugeot family

but just this week PSA bought Opel and Vauxall from GM, as it's been losing money in Europe since 1999

Now VW is the biggest in Europe and PSA is 2nd
