Yes, but they didn't copy the stuff that made the Sud an enduring classic like inboard brakes, funny flat engine and the rust protection guarantee, did they?

Nothing funny about a flat engine - technically it's by far the best way to make a 4-pot. Totally unique sound not like all the buzzy / droning inline 4s. Inboard discs are a PITA to work on, but help out the handling. Shame no-one is innovative like that anymore.

I'd always thought of the Leon as a modern day 'Sud. Didn't realise just how close it was before I saw that pic.

I love the flat four thump of my WRX.

Same type as used in the chav-tastic Subaru WRX you mean?

Alright then, where's the turbo fitted on the Sud? (c:

I didn't say it wasn't any good, I just said it was funny. 2 Timing belts anyone?

My mum had a Citroen GS many years ago. It had a flat four. Anything to do with maintainence on it by all accounts actually wasn't very funny at all.

What car do you drive again Firth?

A big Jag and Ford Explorer iirc. So, no, he has no idea about handling ;-)

And a Merc, a tractor, and several other bits and pieces in the past.

Oh the stupidty of callow youth.

Nah. The WRX doesn't sound like a fart in a wetsuit. And it produces power.
