???
I can only conclude that Citroen's "Anti-Retro" campaign is intended to invalidate the natural belief that the old design was WAY sexier?
"We didn't WANT the car to look good-- that would contradict our Anti-retro philosophy!"

Some wag --
it might have been Rob Walker, British ambassador to America's Road & Track magazine ? -- wondered why French cars "all tend to look like fish" . . .
There are wondrous things to be found on YouTube -- including several videos made by lovers of the (real) DS series of Citroen cars.

I'm not a car person, I've never even acquired a driver's license -
But I lived in France for a few months as a teenager, and the "fish-shaped" Citroen is one of the first (and only) cars that ever inspired anything approaching "excitement" in me ("If I ever DO get a license, I'm getting a Citroen!").
For all I know, the old DS is a bad design to drive and own (how do you change those back tires, for instance?), but there's NO denying it's a very sexy design!

Sewing Machine, would you say? Definitely not Frunker.
