I’m back from a trip to France and while there noted, or rather noted the absence of, things. These things:

The Nissan Leaf

Ferds

Pick ups

The Hyundai Tucson ( I live in a place where it’s the best selling car)

I assume the French prefer the slightly-related Zoe to the Leaf.

Mais oui. You see the odd one.

Yes, they are only slightly related. The Zoe is a class below so think Fiesta sized whereas the Leaf is more Focus sized.

You’d hate to think they were the same as elsewhere. In a world made of McDonalds, I’d celebrate the difference.

I read a headline today that said France is now the optimistic place.

McDonalds are also different there. They have a proper coffee counter with a proper espresso machine, croissants and macaroons.

McMacaroons?

The Tucson is also very popular here in Tucson, of all places. Come to think of it, it’s just perfect for the market around here: a rugged CUV that can take on some soft-roading and dirt paths but still civilized and comfortable enough for roadtripping to Phoenix and beyond! The French have probably replaced it with the Kadjar, I’d imagine—a shame considering it’s just a boring Nissan and hasn’t received Renault’s gorgeous new design language.

Many of our Australian ones do to. They call them McCafe. Never been to one though...

And hot dogs, they’re terrible.

Hence the lack of Hyundai Tuscons. Such dreary appliances.

You’ve given me a chuckle.
