"This is an extremely stimulating new challenge and I am convinced it will generate considerable interest throughout our staff and across our sales networks," said Frederic Saint-Geours, managing director of Automobiles Peugeot.

Yep, already squeezed a mention of that into my article, as well as Lola's biodiesel plans. It was a tight column (and by "tight," I don't mean "cool") ... you have no idea how hard it is to contain something so interesting (to me) to a 28-inch column ... they still might try to cut it up to make it shorter. Ten pounds of, uh, stuff in a five-pound bag.
