So, it's essentially a 'Vette with a DS body on top. So, not really a DS at all, and actually a bit rubbish really. Nice execution, horrid idea.

Now, if you could find me a 400BHP, standard FWD DS with Activa....

How very dare they. Bloody Yanks :evil: :evil: Heathens :evil:

If they left it hydraulically suspended we could forgive them just a little perhaps...

Good only for inducing vomiting on many levels. Horrible colour, horrible interior, basically horrible. Any kind of taste is simply absent.

I found the Cylon 2CV amusing but as for the rest - why bother?

I love 2CVs and think they are fair game for modding. Each one has it's own personality, so why not?

Ugh, i think thats horrible.

I would much rather have a real DS.

You can put a custom frame and V8 engine into anything as long as you throw enough money at it.

The DS is one car which I really wanted to own at some point, but has so far eluded my ownership, so seeing this is just annoying. A real one would be kinda cool tho. Id put a diesel in it :lol: :lol: :lol:

The DS seems a bit pointless to me, though there are anough originals and it looks quite ok, why loose the iconic suspension though? :? :shock:

There are some quite appealing A Series in that link, im not sure if I would like to own any of them but its nice to see some interest in them and to see something a bit different too. I like that ratty Ami 6 saloon, really should be higher but having one so ratty looking but actually solid to use would be pretty ace! 8-)
