Peugeot's CEO, Jean-Philippe Imparato has been quoted in an interview with Autocar, saying no to performance models until they become a global brand

In the article, the head of the french company wants to grow beyond two million units a year and sell more than 50 percent of their cars outside Europe. "Until we do that, I'm much more interested in cars that sell in hundreds of thousands, than those that sell in smaller numbers", Imparato said.

To achieve that, the Peugeot will be venturing into the pickup truck segment with a new vehicle and also launch the upcoming 508 family sedan which is currently in development and will hit the market next year.

Interestingly, Imparato also added that the next RCZ won't be an average sports car. He went on to explain that he wants the coupe to "take the Nordschleife lap record" and if Porsche could do it with their cars, so can Peugeot Sport.
