What’s the car that Citroën made in the early 1990s that looked a bit bland? You know, the one that showed Citroën had finally given up on making innovative cars and threw in the towel? Well, you know I’m talking about, I’m talking about the Citroën ZX because you’ve read the title of the video, but from the lack of information online it seems a bit like that, it seems a little unloved, and contemporary reviews didn’t exactly heap praise on the shape! But buried underneath that bland exterior is a story of a car that sold very well, and in fact spawned another car that sold even better and had a whole second life that ended in 2017. In fact, if you count up all the cars that were based on the ZX, you get at least 10M of them, and it may be as high as 12M.
