Totemobile is a mind blowing robotic sculpture by Chico MacMurtie that initially appears as a life-sized representation of the culturally iconic 1965 Citroën DS automobile. In performance, the car slowly transforms, opens and rises into an organic 18-meter-tall totem pole.

We might as well keep crisscrossing Canada, so we're doubling back to Ontario to take a look at this 2CV photographed by the aptly-named Citroen_SM . Jump away to read Citroen_SM's description. Maybe you could use this Citroën DS from Toronto for your DOTS. My girlfriend had just graduated from university, and somehow I got put in charge of taking pictures. Although her family is now wondering why...

Isn't she a beauty? And she is indeed a French goddess -- une Déesse, the nickname for the Citroen DS (pronounced day-ess). I found her rear end -- excuse me, but I'm serious -- on one of my favorite Paris photo blogs, Un Jour à Paris. Enthralled, I wrote Cil at Un Jour à Paris, and he sent me the entire photo -- a Polly-Vous Francais exclusive. Everyone else gets to see this Venus dramatically

We've never heard of what is a apparently a classic French character named Fantômas, but apprently he's a master of disguise and miscreant extraordinaire. More important to us though, in a 1964 flick, he drove a flying, rocket-powered Citroen DS . As we can see in this chase sequence between a Mini Moke and the DS in question, the transformation is brilliantly controlled through the HVAC controls...

Since we're in a Canadian Citröen mood today, let's take a look at this unusual machine that our Canadian friend Maymar photographed at a junkyard in Ontario. As far as we know, Citröen never made a DS coupe, but Maymar seems to have sleuthed out the likely ancestry of this machine. Make the jump to read his description. I was scoping out local junkyards, when I found this Citroen. I didn't know there...

The Citroen DS is undeniably stylish. During it's 20 year production run, it showcased innovative features, and even came in wagon an convertible versions. But there was just one thing it lacked, V8 pow-ahh! This guy realized the problem and swapped out the weaksauce four-banger in his '66 DS for something with a bit more grunt. Yep, that's a GM LS1 V8. The new mill pumps out around 400 HP to the...

I found this lovely Lego scene on Brickshelf. The car is the Citroën DS (which sound in French like déèsse - goddess). The man and woman couldn't be anything else than French. Click the picture for a very large size version (2022×1011), click here for more Lego Citroën DS creations.

The V12 Jagchero vaporized the Electric Renault R10 in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity voting , but the lopsidedness of the matchup had some supporters of liberty, equality, and eternal torment crying foul. It's bad enough that the British entry was packing a V12 versus the French car's electric motor, but to make a sedan compete against a Rancheroized machine? That's why it's only fair that we have...

Get a bunch of car journalists together and a few conversations are inevitable. Stuff like, "What's the best car ever, period?" or "What's the dumbest car you've ever purchased?" The answers are full of variation (Porsche 959/McLaren F1, Citroen DS/BMW 750iL) and typically end with me asking, "Aren't you guys interested in anything besides cars?" Deaf ears and all that. My point? If the question of...

Some rag called the Daily Telegraph asked their readers to nominate the best-looking cars of all time, and this is what they came up with… 1 - Jaguar E-type 2 - Citroën DS 3 - Jaguar XK120/140/150 4 - Ferrari Dino 206/246 GT 5 - Lamborghini Miura : 100 - Volvo P1800 …not a bad compilation, but once or twice one has [...]

From the mind of Davey G... First of all, yes, Herr Johnson and I actually have conversations about things like this. A lot. Constantly, actually. So you can think of this as settling a bet for us. Also, some of you may recall the last time we put the 308 up to a vote it handily beat out the Lamborghini Jalpa by a 20% margin. But that was then. This time the budget Ferrari is facing the heavyweight...
