    Whoever made that is a genius, and deserves money for his work with virtual bacon. Lots of money. Donate. Now.

    Very funny, but yeah, if you didn't know it was a parody of the transforming car commercial you would probably be wierded out and definately not hungry for bacon.

    I wonder why there aren't Citroens in the USA... does 'citroen' mean 'lemon', as it sounds like it might mean? does the word 'lemon' for 'bum car' come from the brand Citroen? =P

    <i>1. Can I buy a new Citroen in the USA?</i>

    No. Citroen sold its last new car in 1973 (a Citroen SM). However, several independent grey-market importers picked up the Citroen mantle and imported Citroens up until about 1995. Most notably, these companies were Target and Fournet (2CV importers until about 1989, Target imported them as kitcars and Fournet as refurbished cars), Trend Imports (CX Diesel importers until about 1982), EuroCar (CX IE importers until 1987) and CXA or CX Automotive (importers of the CX IE and XM V6 until 1995). Unfortunately, in the last several years, the DOT (the US Department of Transportation) and EPA (the automotive branch of the Environmental Protection Agency) have tightened their requirements to a point that it is no longer financially feasible for an independent importer to bring in cars.

    <i>2. Can I import a Citroen into the USA?</i>

    Yes and no. No Citroens newer than 25 years old can be legally imported into the USA without going through a complicated and expensive compliance red-tape courtesy of the DOT and EPA (see question #1). But, any Citroen, 25 years or older, can be brought into the USA without having to be complied.

    " Under 49 U.S.C. § 30112(b)(9) (formerly section 108(i) of the Act), "any motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old" is not subject to importation restrictions. All vehicles less than 25 years old must be determined eligible for importation by one of the following methods before the vehicle may be imported under contract with a Registered Importer as described in the Vehicle Importation Guidelines.
