Thanks for the nice comments. However, I have a question. Why do you call them pugs? A pug is a small dog, so is it because these are 'smaller' vehicles?

I don't know, but is it possible it's a 'nickname' for Peugeot for those who don't want to type the word?

It must be an American thing...isn't it pronounced "Poog"? Nice models by the way! |

In similar vein, why is a GTO called a Goat? Or a BMW called a Beemer or Bimmer? I've read both Mercedes and Mercury called Mercs... And don't get me started on Willys....that is pronounced "Willies," not "Willis." "Willis" will get you laughed right out of any self respecting auto shop I've ever been inside of. |

Like others I have heard them called "Pugs" for years - not sure where or how the term originated. |
