Hmmm,

Actually 123's including diesels come with manual transmissions. The problem you run into is they are not really common. Also the 190D comes with a manual.

Personally as much as I like french car design I can't say I would be interested in owning one. I have an abundance of places to buy parts for my MB's and Volvos as well as several service choices. I have been burned in the past by both parts vendors and service places. Having only one or two places to buy parts and get service would put someone at a severe disadvantage when it came to getting the best possible deals and service.

Speaking of cheap cars I wish there were Citron parts and mechanics common here in the US. I could easily see a 2cv in my driveway scaring the neighbors.
