I recall having seen a few late 1970s'/early 1980s' U.S. films in which the very occasional Peugeot 504 or 505 NYC taxicab appeared in the sea of Chevy, Ford and Dodge cabs.

Most certainly do. Remember seeing them hardly ever in The Netherlands and more often in France. I guess they all rusted away by now.Remember the 604s' "weird cousin" ?:

Peugeot 508 PSE revealed as the brand's most powerful road car ever
The 355-bhp saloon and estate duo arrives in production guise.
After tweaking the 3008 and 5008 crossovers, the French marque is unveiling today something far more exciting – its most powerful production car to date. Previewed in February 2019 by the Concept 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered, the road-going version is here as an electrified saloon and estate duo.
The performance plug-in hybrid models combine a turbocharged 1.6-liter petrol four-cylinder unit with two electric motors. The combustion engine is good for 197 bhp (147 kilowatts) and 221 pound-feet (300 Newton-metres) of torque). The front-mounted electric motor is rated at 109 bhp (81.2 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) while the rear motor produces 111 bhp (83 kW) and 122 lb-ft (166 Nm).
This hybrid arrangement enables the Peugeot Sport Engineered version of the stylish 508 to develop a combined 355 bhp (265 kW) and 384 lb-ft (520 Nm) sent to the wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Consequently, you’re looking at the most powerful Peugeot road car ever, eclipsing the likes of the stunning RCZ R and 3008 GT Hybrid4 300. The 308 R Hybrid concept from 2015 with close to 500 bhp never made it as a production model, so it doesn’t count.
Power aside, the all-wheel-drive 508 PSE is seriously quick, needing only 5.2 seconds to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) regardless of the body style. Both are electronically capped at 155 mph (250 km/h) and will top out at 84 mph (135 km/h) when running solely on electric juice. Speaking of which, the 11.5-kWh battery pack has enough energy for an electric range of 26 miles (42 kilometres) per WLTP. Once you’re out of juice, a full recharge takes less than two hours from a 32-amp wallbox.
Some of you might be wondering about the car’s weight after adding all the hybrid-related hardware. The saloon tips the scales at 1,850 kilograms (4,078 pounds) while the estate is unsurprisingly a tad heavier, at 1,875 kg (4,134 lbs). Despite their heft, the cars need just three seconds to complete the 50-75 mph (80–120 km/h) task.
The Peugeot 508 PSE will arrive at dealers in the first half of next year. It’s expected to pave the way for a next-gen 308 PSE due likely in 2022 to take on the Volkswagen Golf R with more than 300 bhp.

Peugeot is a French brand of automobiles owned by Stellantis. Founded in 1810, Peugeot is regarded as the
oldest car company in the world. On 20 November 1858, Émile Peugeot applied for the lion trademark.
Armand Peugeot (1849-1915) built the company's first car steam tricycle. They joined forces with Léon Serpollet
in 1886; this was followed in 1890 by an internal combustion car with a Panhard-Daimler engine.
