PIC: Citroen DS concept, not bad but I would prefer no rear wheel opening more like the original.

I like it because it looks like NOTHING else on the road ! I know it's a Citroen instantly.

We had this one last week or so. I thought the grille and tail lights were too subdued.

It's a PS of the 2012 C6 which is a formidable car all on its own and very French as well.

Here's the original used to make the one in Dick's post.

Yes this is a C6 and a good looking Citroen. The one I posted in post #48296 is a different concept than the C6. It is a concept that for me is closer to the original DS than the C6 is.

Here are photo's of the original DS and the concept DS.

Concept DS and I refer to the rear fenders when I say I like the original more but I sure wouldn't turn one of these down nor would I turn down a C6.

Maybe I'm mistaken

But the backgrounds look identical.
