Multics Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The DS, 2CV and actually the whole Citroen armada are very, very ugly cars IMO. The whole list is made of quite old cars so I think it's been made up by some retro loving arty-farty 18year old fashion student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Although I don't agree, from a design point of view I can see their reasoning behind it. From an aesthetic point of view, it's damn ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are they? If they don't say then I'm right to assume they're retro loving students. Anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Have you seen what they plan on doing with the DS name though? Citroen are launching a high end brand using the DS moniker. There will be a number of cars in the range and they are supposed to look cutting edge (but the picture I saw wasnt). So its nice to see them kill off a great reputation for cutting edge technology by releasing a bunch of euro boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The DS is an incredible car..... I nearly got one for free that needed a little TLC. The wife (now ex) didn't see the beauty in it..... Or maybe it was the fact that I already had 6 cars I have 2 cars now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Glad to see the Cord made it. Beautiful car. I appreciate the DS as being technologically ahead of its time, but its not the prettiest of things....They did so much better with the SM.

extendor Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Wouldn't it be fantastic to get more modern cars with a retro style influenced by cars of the 30's instead of all these euro boxes we get coming out of wind tunnels and same style designers these days.
