Tamerlane's Thoughts: President Hollande's ride is a Citroen DS5 Hybrid

Who cares if he'll get along with Merkel. Let's check out his sweet, sweet ride.

Maxichamp said...: @Ozmac: That high topped DS limo is not too shabby either.

On another note, it looks like Edvin and/or I will eventually be doing a cross-country Australian road trip!; May 16, 2012 at 4:54 PM

Interesting the guy says "Made in France", in English.

I wonder what cars have been used other than Citroën. Shouldn't the government be using Renault?

And kinda off topic, but I'm somewhat worried to know the next C5 is going to be GM-based!; May 16, 2012 at 7:16 PM

Nice that it's a hybrid though, the character of Citroens always lent itself to an electric powerplant and hopefully they'll go full EV before long.; June 14, 2012 at 6:25 AM
