The Citroen 2CV has always been strangly appealing to me. I think it is the actually Citroen responding to provide a practical vehicle to the French after WWII. The suspension readily absorbed potholes,ruts and bombed out streets. The engine while (decidely underpowered by American specs), provided great economy and ease of service and it seemed every part of the car is designed to be easily replaced by the owner. I saw several at an import show in Carlisle PA and chatted up the very proud owners for quite some time.
@MattC: Agreed. Wasn't the 2CV designed to take two French farmers and a 50 pound sack of potatoes across a rutted field without spilling their glasses of red wine?
