Fcuking hilarious!

Anyone remember the Mercedes A-class on the track weaving in and out of the cones, to test handling and stability on the road, only for it to tip up and roll over, and over and over. Good design team you got there.

WTF, how can you call the Citroen DS a fuck up??? Its one of the greatest pioneering cars of all time. First car to give you FWD, it looked like it was from the future in 1950's, hydro-pneumatic suspension, headlights that turn with the car (something thats started to be used in todays cars, 50 years late

) , first car to utilise full power steering, full disc brakes on all 4 wheels, and the first car to utilise alternative metals and plastics into the design. You couldnt be further from being right if you tried. All these were invented and designed by Citroen.
