Just saw one of these in the flesh, in orange and black.

Is it just me or is this a horrible looking car?
why?

Got to say they look good, but there was a version that was black and green that, to me, looked better.

Not exactly 'Citroen tradition' colour-wise... but I can imagine some of the DS colour combinations were greeted with some derision at the time too.

I like it - but then again I like Orange on cars... If the dark grey was white and the orange was red, that'd be dandy too.
