Presented in September 1974, the #Citroen CX is the last vehicle the French marque designed as an independent automaker. A replacement for the iconic DS, the CX was about evolution rather than revolution, building on the DS's strengths while taking advantage of 1970s technology to overcome its flaws.
However, the CX's more compact dimensions compared to its predecessor made it a less than ideal chauffeur-driven car. The introduction of the CX Prestige in 1976 was Citroen's answer to those criticisms. It was the top of the line model, built on the 25 cm longer wheelbase it shared with the CX's wagon variant presented the same year. All this increased legroom, together with the sumptuous seating and, from 1977, a raised roofline, makes the CX Prestige a real pleasure to be driven in; I can definitely vouch for that!
