It is a Citroën though really, isn't it. They might be selling it as a DS but it's still Citroën products, same as FIAT and Abarth.

No it's a seperate company ,separate management and seperate factory and design team

Apparently they have specialised ds ambassadors in specific dealerships so you get premium service whilst choosing your car,like Bentley etc

The Citroen DS3, DS4 and DS5 were originally Citroen models. When DS was launched as a standalone brand, Citroen cut the cars from "their" range and DS took them on with a few minor tweaks. This enabled the brand to start with three cars in their lineup, although they were inherited from the parent company, PSA.

The DS7 however started life as a DS, it was never previously a Citroen, nor a Peugeot. It's based on 3008 underpinnings, and so will be the new C5 Aircross. Exactly the same idea with the VAG group doing the Kodiaq, Ateca and Tiguan. Different cars, same underpinnings.

The difference with the DS7 however is the ride comfort, I am told it literally scans the road surface and prepares each damper to provide maximum levels of comfort.

The front and rear dampers ,.clever stuff

I had no idea they had separated DS into it's own brand - I suspect most of the UK public will not care much for it either; they'll be referred to as Citroen DS's for years to come.

I have been subjected to DS4 and DS5s in the past as hire cars; they're really just white goods vehicles with peculiar styling, rather than being ground-breaking.

I wouldn't entertain the idea of one out of principle purely for the website referencing the dealerships as "Salons" FFS.

I'm sure all 23 buyers will enjoy theirs though.

What's wrong with 'salons'?

Nothing, if referring to places that cut and style women's hair.

And the cliche of the year award goes to...

You do know that salon in French can mean a show or exposition (as in an exhibition of goods...) do you?

I love it when people wear their ignorance like a badge of office!

Great post , a company trying to suceed and produce good quality products by using niche locations,I'll quite like to go to a 'salon' and be made to feel special

More pics to follow on pick up. Very excited.

Where are you buying it from (if you don't mind me asking)

[Robster]

Won't you be in neg equity after 2 years ? And even after 4 years you might be in neg equity even with a guaranteed future value

Out of interest I just checked 'how many left' for DS7s.

5 registered and 0 with my engine choice! How many on PH will be able to say they have the only one!

I think that's good fun. That's probably because I am 9% French according to my DNA.

Excellent!
