Specifically the Citroen C6. Every since I saw this car on Top Gear I have wanted to take it for a test drive. The French sure know how to style their cars.

They're pretty cool. The rear glass looks awesome in person.

The Citroen C1 (Mk2) will give you nightmares.

Especially when Peugeot can make a 108 look like this (below) with the same vehicle.

Commercial disaster I'm afraid. They were only ever built so that French politicians would have something French to be driven around in.

I guess every country has their ups and downs

That is depressing.

Frankly I would be ok with a new C5 as well. Those are gorgeous.

Alas I doubt I will ever get to see it. It is concave right?

Sure is.

That is excellent. There is no logical reason to do that but they just did it because they can. I love it.

I was at Chrysler headquarters in Detroit a few years ago and they had a DS5 parked outside for some reason. It was absolutely gorgeous, I couldn't stop looking at it.

They also had a VW CrossFox, which was pretty neat.

Nope, they taped our cell phone cameras before they let us on the property.

And now Hollande rides in a big hatchback. Or at least he did the time I saw him.

Cracks me up.

That's pretty much the story with all big, expensive, French cars. Renault, Peugeot, and Citroen don't have enough cachet to compete with Mercedes, BMW, and Audi, so their luxury models never get taken seriously, even by luxury car buyers in the normally overwhelmingly pro-domestic French market. Sad, really.

At least we only have to wait 15 more years before the C6 is legal to own in the US.
