As a small car, I like it. As a replacement for the Goddess, I hate it.

For one thing, the steering wheel has two too many spokes.

So, you're telling me that I can get out of a car with a thick basket weave pattern imprinted on my ass, a zig-zag pattern imprinted on my palms, a bubble pattern imprinted on my feet, and and a diamond plate pattern imprinted on my forehead after banging my head against the dash in a vain attempt to get the car to run?

Something tells me that there are more effective ways to demonstrate your style to the ladies.

For the life of me I cannot see the point of reusing the DS name on a car that A)isn't even the original size class B)has only two carry over styling cues that I can discern and C)displays no break through or cutting edge styling as the original did. FAIL

@monsterajr: Seconded. Major fail from a brand I was hoping would lead the French car makers away from their lowest-common-denominator philosophy.

I was super disappointed.

It is nothing near as good as the original DS. Hell, it's not even as good as a CX. The DS completely set the automotive world on its ear, for a modern car to do that it'd have to completely do away with tires, or run on horse pee, or balance the American budget. This is just a car.

What was wrong with the DS' fabulous shape? It had good aerodynamics, fabulous for the day and in the upper echelons even now. Why toss that to the side?

Citroen still builds cars, but they don't build automobiles anymore. And that's just too bad.

You can take a more detailed look in this video. I recommend leaving it mute:

Those giant bolsters are cool, but the ones on the seat bottom can really smack you in the wrong place if you sit down on them. Just ask my mom about sitting in my dad's R32 with the big Koenig seats. It really, um, tainted her opinion of the car.

This compact "DS" has nothing godly about it. Hopefully the full size model will be more like a real DS.

New DS logo? Looks like it was written in Klingon. The car does appear quite twee so it may have been designed for circling Uranus.
