Well, they have the regular C5 and C4 Picasso if you feel the DS5 is too high-class.



For some reason that first pic reminds me a lot of a Reventon.

Is the dashboard going to eat me?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

The styling of the French brands took a turn for bland in the 1990s, but I still thought that Citroen had at least "interesting bland styles".


I did like the XM and the Xantia - both good looking, or at least interesting, cars.  It's really been the cars after these, and until the recent C5 and C6, where they lost their mojo.

I agree. After the early/mid 1990s Citroens became really bland and characterless. Cars like the C1, C2, C3, C3 Pluriel, C4 and C5 from those days looked utterly terrible.

Aside from the troublesome carburetor, it was one sexy car. I can stare at pictures of them for hours.  :praise:

Just wondering: did she run too rich and have trouble starting on cold mornings?

Was she prone to vapor lock?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Cars like the XM, Xsara and Xantia looked pretty good compared to boring European and Japanese rivals of the time.

The Xsara looks like a Hyundai.
