The author of the article is the second big clue.

The fact that the brake lights didn’t even come on until AFTER the crash points to the possibility that the driver fell asleep with his foot firmly on the go pedal.

Take it from a guy who has driven newer French cars (Citroen and Peugeot) and lived in France - they aren’t special. There isn’t one French car that I would be eager to own. These cars just seem amazing because, for the time being, they’re forbidden fruit on this side of the Atlantic.
