No was posted on another twitter feed, so naturally thought of folks who drool or debate over the mighty DS class  |

I can't imagine why they did that to a DS. Their ride quality is all about taking passengers in comfort. While I'm no overall fan of French vehicles, the DS is an exception for me - my Dad's best friend had one for years and we regularly got to ride in it as kids - use to love going out in it.

Being a predujiced cockroach & city slicker i just thought bush owner & Victorian Growing up in Singapore in the early 60s the DS owners always got the last laugh in monsoon season & would go full height to drive over the ankle deep regular water flows, pre monsoon drain infrastruture completion. |

That car has been around for a lot of years. You can see its a converted wagon quite easily. It was probably built 20+years ago before there was countless modern utes around. D's are phenomenal tow cars ... but no good for modern HEAVY caravans. They only have a small 2.3litre 4cylinder engine (at the largest), they also are not heavy enough to tow modern behemoths. The wheelbase is 124" from memory. That is one of the reasons they look so weird, the wheels are at the very corners (unlike the american stuff that put the rear axle in the middle of the car).
Self leveling suspension and enormous inboard disc brakes with the huge wheel base makes them exceptional towcars. Far to slow to tow with on modern roads though.
