If I were the company Pugot (as the male Indian team mis-pronounced Peugeot) - I would be pretty unhappy that:
1) the Indian team slaughtered the pronunciation of the name - although Pugot is very funny!
2) that out of 10 brand new cars 308 Turbo, one car broke down - which is a 10% defect rate on brand new cars.

It seems that the broken down Pugot might have been deliberately placed by the AXN producers to bring some drama to the first race - but nonetheless, it is very bad product placement advertising for Pugot.

I think I will always call them Pugot from now on. I like the sound of it.

Either way - Pugot will not be happy about it

Hahaha Laughing

"Pugot"? I think I heard one of them say "bogart" referring to the Peugeot car.

Accidents happen without one wishing for it, and so does engine failures. Let's not take this as a sign of a product's weakness. What's good was that the mechanics quickly arrived and the girls were able to finish the tasks in time.
