I very nearly bought a CX, a few years before I bought my first BX. I always loved the look of the CX, and I found one at the right price too, but on closer inspection it appeared to be fabricated entirely out of painted rust!

I've always been a fan of big old Citroens, especially the DS. The SM has got to be the ultimate big old Citroen to own though; Citroen's suspension coupled with a Maserati engine -- superb!
Yes, although the big problem with the SM was that the caravan full of mechanics and spare parts that you needed to tow in order to travel more than three miles tended to reduce performance somewhat!
