Really interesting!!! My first car was a citroen Ami 8 from the 70s and nowadays a C4 coupé. Keep up posting more examples...
This used to be my third car few years ago, a 1987 renault 5 equipped witha a 1.4 petrol engine, that I drove over 6 years and over 140000 kms.

^^ Left one is 206 ;)

I've seen a few days ago 206 and 208 parked closely to each other, without any car between them. Very similar cars - 208 looks like 206 after lifting, like there would be no another generation on the way. Each cars are very attractive for me and I wouldn't despise if somebody donate me one. ;)
Peugeot in the USA? Finally....?

The Citroen C6 is a modern masterpiece imo. The successor to the legendary DS. I love it, I wish I could afford it.

206's design is great. After 14 years it still looks fresh.


My grandma has a 95' Renault Clio. None of the electronic stuff works properly, handling is awful and the engine is weak, but it has most comfortable seats in any car i've driven.

Yeah the 206 is a great little car. I belief they sold like 5 mln of them. 208 looks good too :)

Me too, shame you don't see many around... They are quite good value if you get a 3-4 year old used one.
I have to mention the three-wheeled Leyat, which had a propeller out the front!

As for 2000-2010 period, i think French cars used to be a bit disapointing, especially for interiors finitions. Still there was the legendary 206.

The new generation is much better imo :

Citroen DS5 :cheers:





DS3




Renault Captur



New Clio



The legendary Peugeot RCZ R :heart: (faster than Audis for a cheaper price)





And the quite news 2008 and 508



I won't talk about performance, cause i hardly understand anything,
but i find French cars to be generally better than German ones
design speaking) for similiar prices.

Still, those new Peugeot (308, 2008, 508...) even if they look quite nice
have become more angular, more German ^^ (Rcz r exepted) maybe its
better for selling, but not much for the brand soul ?

^^ The DS line is indeed gorgeous. Their design is so distinguished they simply can't pass unnoticed.
