C4 Cactus or regular C4?

Hey, have you read the news about Citroën’s upcoming hydraulic dampers? What do you reckon? Seems very low-ambition for Citroën, but if it works...

PSA are really not lacking at all in the modern platforms and engines department, with stuff like EMP2 and PureTech.

Neutral: the logical continuation of the Citroën approach (comfort, ease of use, removal from the technical aspects of driving) is surely something self-driving. So that’s one thing I’m not looking forward to very much. André Citroën for all his brilliance was not a car guy.

I call bullshit. Citroëns of the brand’s heyday were anything but ugly. Unless you think the 2CV is ugly, in which case I’m afraid nothing will save you.

Citroën didn’t so much “lose its way” as it nearly went bankrupt and was saved by Peugeot. Weird may be cool but it does not sell well. The Cactus does not sell well. I’m all for Citroëns being unique again, but decades of frighteningly boring German brainwashing the current customer preferences make it perillous to…

That is not what happened. The “concept” was ostensibly completely production-ready. They just showed a pre-production car with “concept” written on it and then pretended to bring it to production due to the reception it got. But you can’t go from showcasing a concept to producing it in a matter of weeks. They planned…

They name the cars after where the owner is from.

For a rarer, unusual but so much cooler choice: an Alpine A108 or A110 cabriolet. Boy oh boy. Good luck finding one though.

The Clubman is no longer a wagon variant of the hatch, it’s in a different segment altogether and a larger car all around. The 3-door and 5-door hatches compete with the Audi A1 or VW Polo, the Clubman with the A3 and the Golf.

Fear the mighty French police and its terror-inducing chariots!

Oh. Oh boy. I’ve had a crisis.

The perspective is off. I see Pacemans often and Evoques every day, they are definitely not the same size. Which a trip to Wikipedia easily confirms: even comparing the slightly longer Paceman Cooper S to the smallest Evoque (the 3-door), the Range Rover is 25.6cm longer, 11.4cm wider and 8.7cm taller. The Evoque is a…

Made a little better by mandatory front plates.

Never gets old.

Number is the model (it’s also the horsepower count). Letters are the variant. 540 and 570 are the entry-level sport cars, 625 and 650 are the middle-of the range supercars, 675 is the extreme supercar. Then the variants of these are C for Comfort (the cheaper softer one) S for Sport (the “normal” one) GT for Grand…

If you really really want a 57SC Atlantic, you can also do the same as Jay Leno: buy a non-Atlantic 57 chassis (of which they made 682, I mean that’s positively mass-market) and have an Atlantic body made for it. Sure, it’ll still cost you an arm and a leg, but less than $40 million for sure.

Zagato Astons have always had gigantic grilles.

Agag said about a week ago that everything was lined up and the government had given its green light but the city still hadn’t authorised the road closures, or something like that. Seems like this may be mostly Moscow’s fault. Too bad for them, but there had tons of other cities banging at the door for a spot on the…
