Hi, Sebastien.

Thank you for your precise reply.  As Matsubayashi said, that's what
I'd like to hear from you.


I'm relieved I wasn't sure i made the good answer ;)


Never mind.  I don't mind anything :)
I'm relieved too because I was afraid it would mind you. You know that japanese people are often seen as very strict with regard to the respect and the courtesy. So I was afraid I could be disrespectful to you ^^, 


My first name is Masashige, and last name is Koizumi.  But I thought
it's a little complicated for foreigners, so I asked my American friend
to think my simple nickname, then he named me Cozi. (It's mixed from
Koizumi and cozy, he said.) So, call me Cozi.


Ok, that's sounds good to me :)


Your review about Feench global thought is very interesting.  There are
both points the same as and the different from Japanese global thought.
 Especially, contrary to what I had thought is about the maintenance.
Off course all cars need a maitenance without an exception. But
Japanese people strongly believe that Japanese cars need less
maitenances than others.  And somehow we imagine that Japanese cars
even in other countries are the same as.  But French people aren't
considering them so - that's quite useful information when I debate
with my friends who are enshusiasts for Japanese cars ^^;;
If i remember well in france, all brands, japanese, french, american, german, tend to ask for the same kind of maintenance. It only depends wether they are gazole or petrol engines.
at the beginning for a petrol engine it's every 15000 km or 2 years (the first one that is reached) then from 60000 km it's every 10000 km or 1 year (ditto) after 100000 km they recommend to do it every 5000 km. all this are standard maintenance. then you have "complete maintenance" on 30000, 60000, 80000, 100000, etc... 


Now turn back to our car,


ok


I'm sorry but I don't know "safier" means...it means more safe?


yeah, more safe (sorry for my crappy english ^_^, )


If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to ask you more question about Peugeot's
innovation.  How did they improve their axle units?
well, the 405, 406 and 407 and 607 have specially spectacular rear axle unit, while 206, 306, 307 have auto-turning rear axle unit. they created an art in the design of axle units, especially rear ones. 

for exemple on the 407 (logical evolution of 405 and even more 406):
