We had quite a few when I was growing up (ds21's, mostly, including a
wagon) and they were maintained by a Citroen-only shop, but still, I'd
rather walk. (Citroen is pretty darn close to Citron, which of course
means Lemon. 8^)

And to relate it to classic computers, it was about 10 years ago that I
drove through downtown SF in a Citroen with a flat tyre and Jerry Pournelle
and several other muckity-mucks from McGraw-Hill(?) in the car with me.
Very embarassing...
