"French automakers Renault and Peugeot-Citro\u00EBn are poised to give French consumers a homegrown SUV and end the dominance of Asian manufacturers, which now control more than 40% of France&amp;#039;s SUV market, the Dow Jones Newswires reported.   Peugeot-Citro\u00EBn, Renault and Fiat are the only European car makers without an SUV in their lineups.   Renault plans to add an SUV model to its line next year and Peugeot-Citro\u00EBn will follow in 2007.   Both French companies are teaming up with Asian partners to build their SUVs: Renault&amp;#039;s will be made by 70%-owned Korean partner Renault Samsung Motors Corp. and sold in Europe with Renault&amp;#039;s diamond badge starting in late 2006 (, which is partly owned by Renault, will also be involved with its development); Peugeot-Citro\u00EBn has teamed with , which will make a Peugeot-Citro\u00EBn-designed SUV aimed at the European market starting in 2007. No word on whether either model will be exported to the U.S., which is unlikely since neither company currently has a U.S. presence.   However, the story noted, the French might be getting into the market too late. In France, analysts fear there may only be a few years of good growth for the SUV market before it matures. Still, the volume planned by both Renault and Peugeot-Citro\u00EBn won&amp;#039;t be large, with the latter planning to sell just 30,000 annually. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
