Description: Last week came some disturbing news: The mayor of Paris wants to ban the use of cars more than 17 years old in his city. That's right, the French capital could soon one day no longer have classic...Add Comments6
JP BurrDec 02, 2012 I was wondering when carbuzz would do an article on the 2cv....
Tiago Santos MaiaDec 01, 2012 Not unique! Here in Portugal there are loads of this
Paul GoodwinDec 01, 2012 I would love to tool around in one. They look so strange they're cool. You can't say that about many new cars these days, with their homogenized look-alike, big mouth appearance.
Tanton StonemanDec 01, 2012 So all of the things that Paris is known for (Citroën DS, Renault 5, Citroën 2CV, Peugeot 205, classical Vespas and many more) are being banned. Wow, hopefully that means that I can ship one of those mofos over here cheaply!
Nick SchneeDec 01, 2012 I wouldn't call it unique... I see these on the orad quite often. Not frequently, but still.
John AtnipDec 01, 2012 Pretty bad when the country who designs such an iconic car doesn't even want it in the capital anymore...
Reid HuffDec 02, 2012 I saw a convertible version today it was pretty awesome. the suspension was a little loose though.
Ben WrightDec 02, 2012 Loved by hippies, this was actually one of the most polluting engines ever produced.
Alex ArvanitisDec 02, 2012 In its time, women didn't have much say or action to own or drive cars but today, I'd imagine this scores better with women as a collectible car than it does with men. Similarly to classic vw's. that's what I meant by romantically a girls car.
Alex ArvanitisDec 02, 2012 Great longevity, surprisingly good build quality and reliability. Romantically a girls car in look and style, at best a rememberable and venerable mark of French innovation during a decidedly depressed and dark day and age.
Ian BargerDec 01, 2012 Ill have the Bently in the background.
Description: Despite that city's attempt to cut emissions by some 30 percent by the year 2015, classic French cars like the Citroen 2CV will still remain a staple amongst countless French citizens (outside of...Add Comments0
Description: Also like the Beetle and other famous originals like the Jeep, Land Rover, Mini and the Fiat 500, the Citroen 2CV was sold for decades and actually remained competitive during most of that time. So ho...Add Comments0
Reese FenskeDec 01, 2012 what bentley model is on the right?
Description: From 1958-1959, two daring young French adventurers journeyed from Paris to South Africa and then by boat to Rio de Janeiro where they continued to travel north through South America and eventually ma...Add Comments3
Alex ArvanitisDec 02, 2012 Mind altering speed. Homicidally enraging perhaps? Plenty of time to contemplate killing the car salesmen on every stop and go.
Description: These power improvements continued throughout the sixties but even by the late eighties, it still only produced around 35 hp. There's a reason why it never caught on with Germans and their belove...Add Comments2
Alex ArvanitisDec 02, 2012 Now that is a properly good interior. None of this rounded plastic this and softened leather that with napa this or suede that. Perfect.
Matthew CrightonDec 01, 2012 So thats what less HP than my quad looks like.
Description: But for a short time in the Fifties it was sold in the US, but was actually an embarrassment for Citroen because it wanted to be known as a premium brand while trying to sell the larger DS. American i...Add Comments4
Alex ArvanitisDec 02, 2012 This model has been selling well with the Amish.
Paul GoodwinDec 01, 2012 Another example of modern design that only looks new, and has no classic beauty. Ugly big mouth-like too many others these days. The thing will look dated in a few years. Too many car designs these days where all you can say is that it looks modern. Who will want it in even 5 years?
Paul GoodwinDec 01, 2012 It has potential. But it definitely needs work to "cool" it
Paul GoodwinDec 01, 2012 Are the heater ducts cardboard? Haha
Description: It drives perfectly and regularly gathers attention wherever it goes - mainly because there are so few in the US where this one is based. Painted in Bamboo Green with a black interior complete with a ...Add Comments0
Alex ArvanitisDec 02, 2012 If going downhill, yes. Certainly death. At any reachable speed in traffic, no. You may experience similar pain as induced by falling down skateboarding as this vehicle has difficulty reaching 20mph.
