Lessmore,
You are not alone with the extreme rusting observations on Mercedes/Dodge/Euro style vans as it's the same here in Michigan and in the Midwest when we travel. Lots of rust visible on only a couple year old vehicles like on the white FedEx sprinter style vans that deliver stuff ot our home. Rust on white paint certainly can't be missed! Also seen rust on some not very old MH's in CG's using the chassis.
As for Peugeot vehicles, they have never been even marginally impressive or acceptable to me. Their history of usage reliability has been extremely poor. Are they different in the last few years? I sure hope so or GM would be making a huge mistake!
They'd have to be sure "it" actually has the required structure strength and suspension then they'd need to put a real engine in it followed by an adequate transmission that would stand up to North American use and demands. A glowing example is that the Mercedes/Dodge Euro vans leave so much to be desired as FedEx and UPS can tell you and show with their years of excessive repair data amassed. Not pretty!
