John Lennon Car Commercial Angers Fans
Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by admin.
To promote its new DS-3 hatchback, European carmaker Citroen is using interview footage of John Lennon proclaiming rock ‘n’ roll isn’t about looking backward. The “Anti Retro” slogan and the ad itself are well-done, but that isn’t soothing the ire of fans of the legendary Beatle.

Review: Citroen C1 ev’ie
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by admin.
The Toyota Aygo, which is the (in-all-but-styling) identical twin of the Citroen C1, is a fine little car, and when I tested it in 2007, I found most everything about it likeable.

Review: 1975 Citroen 2CV
Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by admin.
It was our first drive on the French autoroute. The highway, heretofore flat, began to climb, all but imperceptibly. Imperceptibly that is, except to the drivers of the Deux Chevaux, cars that look like old Beetles made of corrugated barn roofing.
