European People's car vs thread. Part 2

Part 2 of the fight.

The returning champion (barely) from Eastern Germany the smokey two stroke Trabant

Versus

The garden shed on wheels from France the Citroen 2CV

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Trabant again. I guess.

Trabant. Mainly because I've driven them and are familiar with them. 2CVs are not that attractive to me.

Neither.

2CV. There is one around here in the summer.. painted up red and white. It is Adorable

Citroen but I'd definitely have to wear an Inspector Clouseauesque disguise when I backed it out of the garage. My French accent would be tinged with Hillbilly.

As much as I like Trabants (hey, I live in their heartland) I gotta go with the 2CV. It did everything it was intended to do 100% perfectly and not a single thing more, and then there's the styling. No one does 'oddball' like the French.

Hard to beat the French for a wacky car - 2cv - here's one with f355 running gear.

Trabant again. Le sigh

Trabby

Ferrari powered 2CV! Otherwise neither.

I'll take the Trabant again, although it is a tough decision.

Trabant. I do have a framed picture of a 2CV though.

Trabant. The 2cv is too French. There are limits to odd styling and we pasted that a while back in the 2cv. I look forward to part 3 of the battle.

2CV.

You have to respect a car that won't break the eggs on the way to market.

Ooooh tough call. I watched a 2cv nearly roll at autox once. Im still giving it to the Trabant though.

Deux Chevaux... because it's French !!

I suspect this is true of most 2CV owners in France.

2cv for me.

Because George Lucas saw fit to include it in one of his movies!

Would love a 2CV. They're just so so so weird. Weird in a way the Trabant could only wish to be.

Small picture but so much do want.

If this was a DS then I would have voted the other way but the 2cv just doesn't do it for me.

FYI I already voted. Dont count me twice.

My vote is Trabant. So right now the Trabant is ahead by one.

Tough call. Both are truly iconic, and truly(I'd imagine) awful cars to drive.

2CV. I <3 Frenchymobiles.
