    I also recall a Xsara ad in which Claudia Schiffer is so excited by driving it, she strips.

    I think the Grace Jones one was also part of one of her videos I saw in clubs in the 80's, making it product placement and advertisement..

    The French were the last holdouts in Europe to produce truly unique and wacky cars, going well into this decade with the Avantime. It's too bad those days are gone.

    Correction, that is as French as a car can get. But for the rest of my life, when I hear France, I shall think of croissants.

    Umm... Croissants!

    I love how Citroen used to be adventurous with their cars. So much so that when a car failed miserably, there was a knee-jerk, petulant move to sweep it all under the rug:


    At least they didn't bank the whole farm on Wankel like NSU or, arguably, AMC.

    Is that a sunglass holder built into the top of the dash?
    Or a wet wipe dispenser?

    @DonLuc: I was wondering the same thing, but figured it was an ashtray. The lack of any stains or burns around it leads me to think I'm either wrong, or this example belongs to one of the dozen or less non-smoking Frenchmen. ;')

    @ss750ie: @DonLuc:Mime face paint tray? dunno. I was wondering about the oh-shit handle looking thing to the right of the instrument cluster. Also, the shifter boot looks uncircumcised.

    The shifter boot doubles as an ashtray so you can row and Gitanes at the same time.

    This is cool, but I've come to think that my favorite Citroen is the CX -- the GS' big brother, more or less.
