Penske Lining Up Renaults for Saturn?

There was talk of Saturn being saddled with the Korean built, Renault-Samsung badged, one generation removed Nissan products awhile back. But that didn't make much sense, Nissan has already discarded/improved those products for this market and selling a brand new last generation Nissan under a Saturn badge didn't sound like a Penske move.

Now MotorAuthority has put up an article saying Penske is negotiating to bring in Renaults. Yup, French Renaults.

Here's a link to their product line available (in English): http://www.renault.com/en/vehicules/Pages/index.aspx

It's been awhile since new French cars have been sold in the US. If I remember correctly the last French automobile manufacturer with a presence in the US Puegeot and the left toward the end of the 1980s (if I'm not mistaken).

Interesting.
