My friends all laughed when I told them my dream. They thought I meant a fantasy. I meant a goal: One day I would kidnap Dale Jr. in a multicolor car of my own, and we’d ride together until the end of days.

President Trump’s threatened 25 percent tariff on imported cars would not only dramatically impact automakers both foreign and domestic and cause car prices to increase, it would also spell disaster for PSA Peugeot-Citroën, which is already deep in the process of returning to the North American market.

To all of our French readers, please enjoy this anniversary of the Storming of Bastille, which was a turning point in the French Revolution in 1789, in case you were unaware. Take the time to drive your family of four down to the lake shore for a picnic, fly fishing, and leisure reading in your quaint and lovely 2CV.…

It’s not that often a picture of a Citroën will cause me to do an immediate and forceful spit-take, whether I’m drinking a beverage or not, but this one, found on Sacremento Craigslist, certainly does the job. If you’re not sure why that is, I suspect it has something to do with the colossal and strangely proportioned…

The Citroën 2CV and Méhari are delightfully rugged little cars, and as with all things, their redeeming qualities shine best through motorsport. Dirt-track motorsport. Behold the most delightful thing you’ll see all week.

Chances are this video will make you grimace and say things like “no, dummy, no stop don’t no stop” at your screen. And yet you’ll still watch it, and it’ll hurt the entire time. Why do we do these things to ourselves? We do, though. We do.

Citroën fired their World Rally Championship driver Kris Meeke and his codriver Paul Nagle “due to an excessively high number of crashes,” per a statement released by the team today. This comes less than a week after Meeke had one of the worst-looking crashes of his career at the attrition-heavy Rally de Portugal.

The French. They’ve designed some seriously strange stuff over the years, so it’s no surprise that when PSA Group’s luxury brand let its designers craft their “dream car for 2035,” the scarf-wearing artists came up with something thoroughly wacky. What is surprising is that the brand chose to send 1,360 horsepower to…

Spotted in Nuremberg, Germany, the still-futuristic Citroën DS sits next to its more utilitarian siblings, the 2CV-based Citroën Ami 6 and Méhari. Two Beetles in the background sit in the shadows of the incredible French gems.

With the increasing popularity of hybrid and electric cars, the number of cars that you can buy with two independent motors capable of turning some kind of energy into spinning tires has increased dramatically. Even so, all of these current multiple-powerplant vehicles owe thanks to the addition of electric motors. If…

We don’t deserve the Citroën Cactus. It’s too perfect for this world.

While they may be on their way back, the United States doesn’t really deserve Citroen. We have sinned too much as a nation for their line of joyous and weird cars. But for a little while, Citroen sold some cars in the United States like the DS but not in huge numbers. The Citroen CX, however was never sold here in…

Citroën BX GTi 16 Soupapes, je t’aime!

The Citroën Twelve, also known as the Citroën Traction Avant, debuted in 1934. It was advertised as being a “car of an entirely new conception,” a claim which, at least this one time, holds up pretty well! See? Not all car company promises are wrong and bad.

PSA Group, the parent company of Citroën, DS Automobiles, Peugeot, Opel, and Vauxhall, wants to come back to the U.S. market with low-volume production models, likely on a similar method as Alfa Romeo’s return to the U.S. They are, however, also considering a ride-sharing model as well. In either case, PSA Group have…

Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know.

Good morning! Welcome to The Morning Shift, your roundup of the auto news you crave, all in one place every weekday morning. Here are the important stories you need to know.

In the 1950s and ’60s, two-tone paint schemes were a common sight on everything from family station wagons to muscle cars. According to a report by Automotive News, that trend is on its way back to the mainstream.

When you’re in Europe, you can always pick out the American car nerds because something perfectly ordinary, like a Peugeot 208, can roll by and we’ll absolutely lose our shit over it. Well, maybe we’ll be losing our shit stateside soon!
