Citroen, roosting in the ugly tree!

That thing is so ugly it makes the Yugo look pretty.

Does the whole front clip open up?

Thank the goddesses that Citröen isn't in the USA market xD

A Yugo wasn't ugly, just boxy and utilitarian-looking. What it was, though, was a piece of junk. In fact, it was so unreliable that the manufacturer included a rear window defogger as standard equipment just to keep your hands warm while you were pushing it.

Looks like it might. I don't see any other doors.

And it didn't work any better than the rest of the car.

Looks like a French Edsel. It does look a bit like the worlds fastest pig too.

When I was stationed at Fort Holabird, a friend had a Citröen sedan. It was a remarkable auto, with many refined features, including a hydraulic suspension and headlights that swiveled with the steering. One had to remove the entire rear fender to change a tire. It was smooth and very comfortable on the road, and it had tail lights positioned at the roofline just as is standard here now.

While in Germany, another friend had a 2CV, which was even more remarkable for having but two cylinders. Canvas seats and a gear shift that look like an old man's cane sticking out of the center of the dash panel. Cheap and very reliable transportation. I wish I had one of them today!

Citroen SM with water injection. Wild!
