Which proves that we Spaniards were right keeping the Belgians Catholic... but I digress.

Well, actually it was a Tag Team Crapmobile designed and made by a Franco-British team.

It may be expensive to keep. But overtaking a Ferrari in the twisties is priceless.

Do you own any French car?

Well, if it looks like a van, has the proportions of a van, handles like a van and shares design features with the Espace, I don't care if you want to call it a "coupé" (I hate corporate babble to justify bad ideas). It. Is. A. VAN!

Make them Grolsch (IIRC you're Dutch).

I see Renault 5s every day, for the record. I live in Spain. And they're great little cars, quite reliable if properly maintained (which means checking water level every month, oil and brake fluid every 3000 miles, obviously too much for most buyers of cheap cars).

Alsace and Lorraine were conquered by the Germans in 1871. History didn't start in the 20th century.

At least it handled nicely... like the Peugeot 306 from which it derived and that was orders of magnitude more beautiful.

You couldn't recognise greatness if it hit you in the face.

It was crappy at being a van, OTOH. Big van + 2 doors = EPIC FAIL.

Oh my. I had forgotten about this Twingo abortion.

Too soon?

Well, in Spain it was a quite dependable car. Granted, we barely had cars by then, and our shitty roads didn't allow the kind of highway driving that undid the Dauphines.

Amen, brother.

AKA R5 Copa Turbo in Spain, where it earned the nickname of "Posh-killer"

The Dominique Strauss-Kahn of cars. Big, powerful, expensive, Jewish and will rape you (in the financial sense). The Citroën SM. By all rational accounts it's a trifecta of doom (French car with Italian engine and Lucas electrics).

It wasn't that bad for its age. At least it was reliable (again, for the age).

It looks just backwards.

In 20 years Peugeot has gone from making the most beautiful French cars to the most hideous.
