- Actually, I find some Citroens quite attractive. I'm not sure if they were
- ever imported to the US but the CX2000 and CX2200 Pallas of the late 70s were
- simply gorgeous automobiles. They would look absolutely stunning if they're
- produced today. In fact , I believe one of the "Back to the Future" series
- featured a Citroen DS(70s?) in the future. The DS had some of the most
- advanced styling cues including those tear-drop shaped headlights that are only
- now showing up in the Vipers, MX-3s, ES300s, Del Sols, etc. It is sad that
- the Citroens of today do not have any distinguishing styling traits. Bring
- back the old designs and improve the reliability I say.

- PS. I agree about the Renaults. It was a TR11 I think where you couldn't
- distinguish the front from the back that was truly horrendous.
