French President Picks Citroen DS5 Hybrid, Much To The Delight Of Clemens Gleich

Shortly after our man Clemens Gleich tested out the Citroen DS5, the diesel-hybrid from PSA is getting another nod of approval from a jovial European – France's new President, Francois Hollande. Hollande's choice of vehicle is appropriate for the newly elected Socialist Prime Minister, as the DS5 Hybrid has all the requisite eco-cred to curry favor with the anti-austerity/tax the rich/"live in sin and have 4 kids with your political rival" crowd. Socialist Prime Ministers have traditionally favored Citroens, with former President Francois Mitterand famously opting for an XM when leaving the Elysee Palace, which turned in to a famous print ad for the company. Jacques Chirac was known to have been driven in a delectable Renault Safrane Bi-Turbo, while Nicolas Sarkozy, who has great taste in woman, was known to favor the dour Peugeot 607, although he also opted for a more off-beat Renault Vel Satis. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
