Citroen CX 2400 Pallas

Allright, this is a classic. It shouldn't be compared with the German panzers or Swedish trucks listed somewhere here. This one has a style. Citroen used to move people with a style in those years. But they were defeated to harsh economic realities of the market and today the market is left to powerful panzers and trucks only. This thing, along with the DS, GS and SM of the very same company is a flying carpet an "engineering wonderland". Actually floating on nitrogene filled suspension... (read more)

I owned three consecutive Gti Turbo's, and have recently purchased a '79 Pallas 2400 C-Matic as a restoration project, because I simply cannot live without one :-). There is simply nothing like it.

MMM. I love them too, but I am certainly not as one-eyed as our the author. Rust, interior trim, poor driving ergonomics, quirky switch gear, front seats which imbue the feeling of sitting atop a sponge-mass, pedal position for which one\'s feet need to be arranged pidgeon-toe style, doors which fail to remain open,and fail to open far enough (yes, they certainly thump you if you fail to hold away when alighting from the car), water which finds it\'s way from the windshield into your face when raining, and door window is even slightly open. Add to this an electrical system which is poorly made and protected and from the elements- untidy is an understatement, headlights which promise so much, deliver so little. The list goes on.
<br>Yes, I love them. Have had four DS\'s, including safari DS21, three CX\'s (a 24 carb, a 25 IE and a Reflex estate diesel). CX is the better car. Handling, gearing, comfort, (not visibility). The CX is the last of the genuine (real) Citroens. Beautiful car, well worth the effort. Still out handle, out-brake, out-comfort most moderns, including the nicer German cars, for which I have a high opinion.
