Citroen revives the iconic DS with the DS3 concept

Citroen, the French automaker that's not like any others is reviving the iconic "DS" badge.
As a reminder the DS was a car from the 60s-70s the was considered decades in advance compared to the cars on the market back then. It sported things that BMW or Audi are bragging about currently: self-leveling hydraulic suspension and turning headlight that were following the driver's input on the wheel.

It is also considered the most beautiful car ever created and still looks futuristic despite its age:

They also created the famous "2CV" which in Europe was as famous as the Beetle:


Citroen then lagged for decades and Peugeot eventually bought it and gave it back its mojo.

Now they create again totally different car in Europe and always come with refreshing prototype like the Citoen GT featured in Gran Turismo 5, that might come soon to production:
