They used to run an advert for the deuche over here with the headline 'Faster than a speeding Ferrari' over a picture of a 2CV. The copy then informed us that travelling downhill with the wind at its back the 2CV could go faster than a Ferrari that was doing 61mph on a 60mph road.
They're wonderful cars, although I wouldn't want to own one (one of my brothers had one for a while). They're easy to repair, having only 5 moving parts (if you're lucky), and there's room in the back for a sheep. Citroen still make some very idiosyncratic and interesting cars. I quite like the Citroen C cars at the moment, although the smaller ones are not terribly good in the Alps. Trust me.
