The original Citroën 2CV was produced from 1949 to 1990 and won the love of consumers due to its simplicity, reliability and affordability. In France, the car became as iconic as the Ford T in the USA or the Volkswagen Beetle in Germany. Its unusual design with large headlights and rounded shape earned the 2CV the nickname “ugly duckling”, which became part of its legend.
Earlier it became known that Dodge also plans to return the legendary Stealth name to the market, but in a crossover format. The new Stealth will replace the Durango and will be introduced in 2027. Unlike its predecessor, which was a redesigned version of the Mitsubishi 3000GT sports car, the new car will become a crossover, retaining only the name from the past.
