I've always dug French cars, probably partially due to my Dad having a Renault 5 when I was a kid, and partially because they've been forbidden fruit in the US since the early 90's. This afternoon I found myself looking around for a Citroën DS (not that I really need one):
Often considered the most beautiful car ever designed, and who can argue? Well, I can actually. Its weird looking and arguably the Traction Avant and SM are better looking Citroën's; but it is a gorgeously
French car. And the technology in this car is mind blowing. Hydro-pneumatic suspension (ask de Gaulle how well it works
), road following headlights, and a CD of 0.34! All from a car designed in the 1950's. Amazing.
As always Jay does a great job talking about these:
