I hope they won't make it too Citroenesque. I've never driven a Citro that
wasn't bereft of all road feel. In fact I've once completely destroyed a
tyre and a rim on a BX because I didn't notice I had a flat, the vague,
floaty feel was its usual behaviour.

I like my unsophisticated, basic 80. It might lean while cornering but you
always know what it's doing. No power steering might be irritating when
you're making u-turns or parking but it's great once you're rolling...
