BBC Tribute – Citroën DS: A ‘goddess’ of a car

Citroënvie member Sam Holman sent us this link to a BBC article by Jonathan Glancey on Citroen’s DS Devine introduction.  Echoing our sentiments, Jonathan wisely saw past the fashion hype surrounding the new model, instead instead choosing to focus on the virtues of the original DS.   Read the full article here

In the piece be sure to watch the original 1960’s Citroën DS television ad for its turning headlights.

And if you notice the other clips that appear in YouTube listing, there is one that touts the introduction of the DS5.  In that video 5 lucky Brits won a luxury weekend in the South of France to drive and review New DS 5 ahead of its UK launch.  While Citroen tried to brand the DS name to the new model, they did so by rolling out 5 classic DS for the event.  It’s pretty obvious they stole the show.    🙂
