Road TestCar reviews - Citroen - DS3 - DSport CabrioCitroen modelsOverviewThe Citroen DS3 sorta-kinda convertible has quirky charm in spades11 Oct 2013 WHEN it launched in 1955, the original Citroen DS immediately cemented its place in history as a truly revolutionary car. It borrowed very low-drag aerodynamic design from the aerospace industry, pioneered ingenious new technology and, most notably, looked like nothing else on the road.
