Citroën CX (with suspension set low. It was this feature which had it banned in America for several years)

Yes, it’s the Mk2. I prefer that to the Mk1.

Of course, early ones were a bit more chromey and period-looking:

Still a super-cool design.

Things that look 40 years old because they’re 40 years old

Am I insane for thinking the Honda Civic looks like an updated Citroen CX?

Fully agree. The mk2 CX is a timeless design, the mk1 shows it’s age a bit better due to all the chrome, but I still like both of them.

why ban a car for suspension like that?

Because headlights had to be fixed in a certain place. The same legislation banned steering lights. The CX’s lights would have been illegal anyway because not sealed beams.

The other reason is that adjustable suspension was evil, foreign and quite possibly Communist.

The SM had to go from this:

to this:

to keep the Americans happy.
