We remarked at the time: &#8220;To say that a car is new and different is only to say that it is interesting, not necessarily that it is good. &#8230; The Citro\u00ebn DSl9 is essentially a connoisseur&#8217;s item.&#8221; Thirteen years later, some 27,000 Citro\u00ebns having since crossed the Atlantic, we tested a 1969 DS21 Pallas sedan. (The 1970 Citro\u00ebns won&#8217;t come on the U.S. market until spring.) It&#8217;s not new (it differs only subtly from the 1956 car), but it&#8217;s still interesting &#8211; as much an automotive anomaly as ever. Its major advantage &#8211; very comfortable seats, a very good ride, good handling in normal driving and good fuel economy &#8211; come at a fairly high price, at least in the model tested. And to judge by our test car, problems of repair and upkeep may constitute a major headache for Citro\u00ebn owners.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.citroen.mb.ca\/Documents\/Consumer69\/index.html\">More Information, click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Fred Winograd copyright 2010<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click on pictures to Z O O M in.
