+ car focus: Citroen luxury cars +

As you know, I love cars, hence the url of my blog. So besides the gadget posts, there'll now be posts on these 4-wheeled automobiles too.

Founded in 1919, Citroen cars were never conventional. Half a century ago, the French company produced cars way ahead of it's time technically and stylistically. Its reputation of a producer of advanced and daringly styled vehicles was however diminished after the merger with fellow French automaker Peugeot. Citroen is now trying to recapture the design sparkle which was lost two decades ago. And if you thought luxury cars should look like BMWs, Mercedes or Jaguars, then you haven't seen an executive Citroen car. Their hydraulic air suspension systems have always been the pinnacle of ride comfort, and Citroen luxury sedans have never looked like any of their competitors. Marvel at the quirkiness of Citroen design.
