Interesting post... For me,the name that made me dream when I was young was the Citroen DS, in French it's pronounced like the word Déesse (Goddess). When we went on vacation I always hoped to see one on the road.

Oh yes, I now remember that about the DS. It certainly rides like a goddess too, smooth as riding on a magic carpet! These are such lovely, and innovative cars for their time. Very quirky and fun, too! It's sad that they don't have these kind of funky DS cars any more. The new DS9 is hardly as cheerful or interesting :-(
That said, I've now seen renders of what the DS9 could've looked like. Now this is what a DS should be, and I'm just praying that someday, Citroen will make one.
This DS9 design is pretty cool... I saw few months ago the new DS9 sedan but the design is a little more common :
Yeah, it's certainly more conventional, and not funky like old DS cars used to be. Even still, the DS9 is indeed more interesting that the boring ol' Mercs, Beemers, and Audis that we normally see. I do hope they start selling more of the DS9, and hopefully, we'd get to see more experimentation from Citroen.
