(It's a very nice dedeuche!
This is not a question only for the autor of this topic.)

Why does young people choose 2cv and not 205Gti for example?
I grow in lots of old 2cv and old VW beetles... That's why I only drive beetles or 2cv.
What about you, fellas?

Moved from My low deuche. (L'escargot bleu) topic. Its better to start new topic for
this kind a random questions, not mess up in car topics.

For me

- because they're unusual and don't look like much else on the road, especially Snail type - even normal 2CVs look normal compared to Snails.
- because they're old looking, but not like the majority of old cars in England (i.e. Morris, Austin etc)
- Nostalgic - I always loved seeing battered old Citroens on trips to France when I was young. And it must have had an effect because since I've been old enough to drive I've almost only driven Citroens!

Cheers
Andy
