As I understand it, the "DS" designation will go all through the various current lines, like a C3DS, and mean more of a 'top-luxury-with-cutting-edge-innovations trim level' rather than be a stand alone luxury model. Now, if they would only bring back French cars to North America, beyond the "Nissan Versa" which is actually a Renault and the "smart" ie, the ones with the wonderful seats, the incredible ride, and the economical powertrains. I loved the DS, and treasured the times I rode in one/drove one. Really different by design, but it all made a weird sort of sense.

The only Cit I have ever driven was sleek coupe that had some silly Italian engine in it. The trunk was too small and the radio wasn't stereo, so I didn't take it off his hands.

With the price of fuel here in the SF Bay area, I'd kinda sorta like to see the 2CV re-issued. You really don't need anything more for scooting around town, and they have a amazing ride quality. Chris
Visualize yourself climbing the hill to the stop sign where the Mark Hopkins is, in a long line, and having your parking brake cable snap. It happened to me in the 1964 GT - and the seat hinge snapped!.

I'd scream like a seven year old girl if that happened to me. Chris
What? No Hill Holder? Paul Johnson
No, Paul.
To top things off. the seatback hinge let go the day before and hadn't been replaced! Fortunatly, it has a comp clutch and the cars behind stayed WAY bwehind

I'd just like to say that I think I'd rather have the old one.

I mean, really. that's not even a car, it looks like a warmed over Isuzu Amigo.

Looks like a nice enough little car but nothing special, certainly not anything like the original DS.
Kind of like if Ford introduced a new Mustang and it was really the next generation Focus, nice enough little car but no Mustang.
