It makes the chances of small, French cars being sold here seem even bleaker, but I would take any suggestions that this threatens the future of PSA as hyperbole for the sake of humor.

Nissan is owned by Renault, I think that they are not connected.

Renault-Nissan is a cross shareholding situation and you're correct that PSA isn't connected to it.
