When one crosses the path of an old DS, one has no other choices but to look at it, it is not so much out of date, even now. Just a little bit too round by nowaday standards. But still, it includes itself quite well it todays trafic.
As every citroen fan, I am always waiting for citroen to provide us with such a revolutionary car as was the DS in it's time.

Yes, all of those things are what impressed me about them. Since beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, I still think they’re ugly. But to each his/her own!
