I've always thought the DS a very good looking car, would not be ashamed to drive one today.

Big fan of the DS. Would defintely have an early one in my imaginery extended car collection.

One of the local taxi firms had one and used it to pick us up after a night out clubbing when we were in our late teens. Lovely smooth ride with the hydropneumatic suspension system.

Partly brought up in France and just so loved these cars. So far ahead of their time and now uber cool.

Would have a soft top version of this in an instant, but could never afford one....

Super cool car, and Patrick Jane drives one!

An elegant design classic. Nice post.

Remember driving one of these at my first job @ Hertz Leasing (At least I think it was one of these).

Certainly a big old french barge.

The brake pedals on these early French cars were hilarious - Worked a bit like an anchor

Press the button and the car stopped - immediately

I lived in France for a while many years ago and got to drive a DS 19 I believe it was. Never could get the feel of the brakes to make a smooth stop.

Yep - beautiful car and I like the 'French' ride quality.

The C6 had a heads-up speed display and reminded me of the DS.
