I think this pretty much sums up Citroën (from Wikipedia): "Paul Magès, an employee of Citroën, with no formal training in engineering, secretly develops the concept of an oil and air suspension to combine a new level of softness with vehicle control and self-levelling." |
The one on the right is a 70s or 80s CX... There was one in our neighborhood in Ankara. In light silver metallic, surrounded by dowdy Fiats, Renaults, my parents' ancient Peugeot and even the occasional Merc or Buick, it looked like a spaceship. At least 8 to 10 year old me thought that. Funny how dowdy it looks in turn now, though it's not a great color.
