Gigantic, covered in chromes and leather, and boldly treading the lines between modern and retro, tasteful and tacky. This is a proper Lincoln alright.

Citroën’s never been about retro. If they were they would never have made such forward-thinking cars as the Traction Avant, the 2CV, the DS, the SM...

I think you have it backwards, they actually started as barns and were fitted with wheels at the factory.

That’s the Place de la Concorde actually, I was talking about the Place de l’Etoile (with the Arc de Triomphe in the middle) which can get a bit messy.

It’s such a large roundabout with such poorly defined lanes that they propably just gave up on changing it.

Come on America, you walked on the freaking Moon. Roundabouts are not that complicated.

Indeed, they used to be called rond-points and were almost entirely replaced by carrefours giratoires in which you yield to traffic already on the roundabout. But people still call them rond-points anyway. Among the last existing ones is the Place de l’Etoile in Paris around the Arc de Triomphe, which is a complete…

The Place de l’Etoile which you’re referring to is the most famous, but also probably one of the last, French roundabouts where you yield to entering traffic. Almost all others have become normal roundabouts.

They just put him in storage in case someone wants to restore him and have him sold for 30 million by Sotheby’s.

Lightly used Ferrari, for restoration.

Lookit its little eyes!

You don’t get the Forfour in the US?

I love the Twingo, it’s so interesting. When they introduced it they thought most buyers would be broke students and young adults. To their surprise, who actually bought the thing in droves? Trendy, well-off 30- and 40-something urban women. That’s when they started offering limited editions like the Twingo Kenzo.…

Not with that attitude.

Meh, it’s just a concept. It would probably break down if you actually tried to drive it hard.

It’s a brilliant car, there’s no reason not to buy one. Even today a well-maintained second-hand one is the perfect urban runabout. Very small, mind-blowingly roomy inside, maneuverable, great visibility, and it still looks modern.

I have said it before and I will say it again, this car is the only modern spiritual successor to the Mini, particularly as far as managing space is concerned. You would not believe how roomy one of these is inside.

Can’t have a Jalopnik comment section without the usual “but why not a Mustang?”, can we?

Damn. Eighteen words in that title, and only “Makes” has more than 4 letters.

Well that’s a bit harsh, Ghosn wasn’t in Action Directe as far as I’m aware.
