Citroen still does have some name recognition.  I still think one of the most beautiful cars ever manufactured was the GS of this vintage:

I had one of the original Corgi diecast models of this car in 1975-76.  I made the mistake of bringing it to school, and playing with it on the playground there.  One of the little bastards I knew who didn't like me deliberately stomped on it, picked it up and threw it into the street, utterly destroying the model.  FWIW, I almost killed him, which felt good at the time.  Paste-eater.  I got him back bigtime a half a year later.  He asked for it.
