Citroën (French pronunciation: [si.tʁɔ.ˈɛn]) is a major French automobile manufacturer, part of the PSA Peugeot Citroën group since 1976.
Founded in 1919 by French industrialist André-Gustave Citroën (1878–1935), Citroën was the first mass-production car company outside the USA[3] and pioneered the modern concept of creating a sales and services network that complements the motor car.[4] Within eight years Citroën had become Europe's largest car manufacturer and the 4th largest in the world.[5]
Citroën earned a reputation for innovation and revolutionary engineering, which is reflected in the company's slogan "Créative Technologie". Its history of innovation began with its founding, when André-Gustave Citroën introduced the first industrial mass production of vehicles outside the United States, a technique he developed while mass-producing armaments for the French military in World War I. In 1924, Citroën produced Europe's first all-steel-bodied car, the B10.[6] In 1934, Citroën secured its reputation for innovation with its Traction Avant, not only the world's first mass-produced front-wheel drive car, but also one of the first cars to feature a monocoque-type body.[7] In 1954 Citroën produced the world's first hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension system,[8] then in 1955 the revolutionary Citroën DS, the first European production car with disc brakes.[9] In 1967, Citroën introduced swiveling headlights in several models, allowing for greater visibility on winding roads.
Citroën received many international awards like the 1972 Car of the Year award in the USA, 3 European Car of the Year awards, 3 Car of the Year awards in Ireland, 8 Car of the Year awards in Italy,[10] 9 Car of the Year awards in Spain.
Citroën is the only automobile manufacturer to have won three different official championships from the International Automobile Federation: World Rally Raid Championship, World Rally Championship, and World Touring Car Championship. In 2014, Citroën is the automaker that has won the most world championship titles: 14 World Champion titles in 15 appearances. Citroën won the World Rally Raid Championship 5 times, the World Rally Championship 8 times, and the World Touring Car Championship for its first participation.
In China, Citroën increased its sales by 30% in an overall market growth of 11%[11] and ranks highest in the 2014 customer satisfaction survey by JD Power in China.[12]
The brand celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 2009.
André Citroën built armaments for France during World War I; after the war, however, unless he planned ahead he knew he would have a modern factory without a product.[13] There was nothing automatic about the decision to become an automobile manufacturer once the war was finished, but the auto-business was one that Citroën knew well, thanks to a successful six year stint working with Mors between 1908 and the outbreak of war.[13] The decision to switch to automobile manufacturing was evidently taken as early as 1916 which is when Citroën asked the engineer Louis Dufresne, previously with Panhard, to design a technically sophisticated 18HP automobile for which he could use his factory once peace broke out.[13] Long before that happened, however, he had modified his vision, and decided, (like Henry Ford), that the best post war opportunities in auto-making would involve a lighter car of good quality, but made in sufficient quantities to be priced enticingly.[13] In February 1917 Citroën contacted another engineer, Jules Salomon, who already had a considerable reputation within the French automotive sector as the creator, in 1909, of a little car called Le Zèbre.[13] André Citroën's mandate was characteristically demanding and characteristically simple: to produce an all-new design for a 10 HP car that would be better equipped, more robust and less costly to produce than any rival product at the time.[13] The result was the Type A, announced to the press, just four months after the guns fell silent, in March 1919.[13] The first "production" Type A emerged from the factory at the end of May, and in June it was exhibited at a show room in the Champs-Élysées which normally sold Alda cars.[13] Citroën persuaded the owner of the Alda business, Fernand Charron, to lend him the show-room (just as a few years later Charron would be persuaded to become a major investor in Citroën business).[13] On 7 July 1919 the first customer took delivery of a new Citroën 10HP "Type A".[13]
That same year, André Citroën briefly negotiated with General Motors on a proposed sale of the Citroën company to GM.[14] The deal nearly closed, but GM ultimately decided that its management and capital would be too overstretched by the takeover.[14] Citroën thus remained independent till 1935.
Citroën was a keen marketer—he used the Eiffel Tower as the world's largest advertising sign, as recorded in Guinness World Records.[15] He also sponsored expeditions in Asia (Croisière Jaune), North America, (Croisière Blanche) and Africa (Croisière Noire) intended to demonstrate the potential for motor vehicles equipped with the Kégresse track system to cross inhospitable regions. The expeditions conveyed scientists and journalists.
Demonstrating extraordinary toughness, a 1923 Citroën that had already travelled 48,000 km (30,000 mi) was the first car to be driven around Australia. The car, a 1923 Citroën 5CV Type C Torpedo, was driven by Neville Westwood from Perth, Western Australia, on a round trip from August to December 1925. The car is now fully restored and in the collection of the National Museum of Australia.[16]
In 1924, Citroën began a business relationship with American engineer Edward G. Budd. From 1899, Budd had worked to develop stainless steel bodies for railroad cars, for the Pullman in particular. Budd went on to manufacture steel bodies for many automakers, Dodge being his first big auto client. At the Paris Motor Show in October 1924, Citroën introduced the Citroën B10, the first all-steel body in Europe.[6] The cars were initially successful in the marketplace, but soon competitors (who were still using a wooden structure for their bodies) introduced new body designs. Citroën did not redesign the bodies of his cars. Citroëns still sold in large quantities in spite of not changing the body design, but the car's low price was the main selling point and Citroën experienced heavy losses.[citation needed]
In 1927, the bank Lazard helped Citroën by bringing new, much-needed funds as well as by renegotiating its debt—for example, by buying out the SOVAC. It went even further by entering in its capital and being represented at the board. The three directors sent by Lazard were Raymond Philippe, Andre Meyer, and Paul Frantzen.
André Citroën perceived the need to differentiate his product, to avoid the low price competition surrounding his conventional rear drive models in the late 1920's/early 1930's. In 1933, Citroën introduced the Rosalie, the first commercially available passenger car with a diesel engine, developed with Harry Ricardo.
The Traction Avant is a car that pioneered mass production of three revolutionary features that are still in use today: a unitary body with no separate frame, four wheel independent suspension, and front wheel drive. The vast majority of cars for many decades were similar in conception to the Ford Model T - a body bolted onto a ladder frame which held all the mechanical elements of the car, a solid rear axle that rigidly connected the rear wheels, and rear wheel drive. The Model T school of automobile engineering proved popular, because it was thought to be cheap to build, but it did pose dynamic defects as cars became more capable, and resulted in a heavier car, which is why cars today are more like the Traction Avant than the Model T under the skin.
Citroën commissioned the American Budd Company to create a prototype, which evolved into the 7-horsepower (CV), 32 hp (24 kW) Traction Avant of 1934.
Achieving quick development of the Traction Avant, tearing down and rebuilding the factory (in five months), and the extensive marketing efforts were investments that were too costly for Citroën to do all at once, causing the financial ruin of the company. In December 1934, despite the assistance of the Michelin company, Citroën filed for bankruptcy. Within the month, Michelin, already the car manufacturer's largest creditor, became its principal shareholder.[17] Fortunately for Michelin, the technologically advanced Traction Avant met with market acceptance, and the basic philosophy of cutting edge technology used as a differentiator continued until the late 1990's. Pierre Michelin became the chairman of Citroën. Pierre-Jules Boulanger became the vice-president of Citroën and chief of the engineering and design department.
In 1935, founder André Citroën died from stomach cancer.
Pierre-Jules Boulanger had been a First World War air reconnaissance photography specialist with the French Air Force. He was capable and effective and finished the war having risen to the rank of captain. He was also courageous, having been decorated with the Military Cross and the Legion of Honour. He started working for Michelin in 1918, reporting directly to Édouard Michelin, co-director and founder of the business. Boulanger joined the Michelin board in 1922. He became president of Citroën in 1937 after the death of Édouard and kept his position until his death in 1950. In 1938, he also became Michelin's joint managing director.
During the German occupation of France in World War II Boulanger refused to meet Dr. Ferdinand Porsche or communicate with the German authorities except through intermediaries. He organized a "go slow" on production of trucks for the Wehrmacht, many of which were sabotaged at the factory, by putting the notch on the oil dipstick in the wrong place, resulting in engine seizure. In 1944 when the Gestapo headquarters in Paris was sacked by the French Resistance, his name was prominent on a Nazi blacklist of the most important "enemies of the Reich" to be arrested in the event of an allied invasion of France.[18]
Citroën researchers continued their work in secret, against the express orders of the Germans, and developed the concepts that were later brought to market in three remarkable vehicles - a small car (2CV), a delivery van (Type H), and a large, swift family car (DS). These were widely regarded by contemporary journalists as avant garde, even radical, solutions to automotive design.
This began a decades long period of unusual brand loyalty normally seen in the automobile industry only in niche brands, like Porsche and Ferrari.
Citroën unveiled the 2CV—signifying two fiscal horsepower, initially only 12 hp (8.9 kW)—at the Paris Salon in 1948. The car became a bestseller, achieving the designer's aim of providing rural French people with a motorized alternative to the horse. This car remained in production, with only minor changes, until 1990 and was a common sight on French roads until recently. 8.8 Million 2CV variants were produced in the period 1948-1990.[19]
1955 saw the introduction of the DS, the first full usage of Citroën's now legendary hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension system that was tested on the rear suspension of the last of the Tractions. The DS was the first European production car with disc brakes.
The DS featured power steering, power brakes, and power suspension, and—from 1968—directional headlights. A single high-pressure system was used to activate the steering and brakes, with pistons in the gearbox cover to shift the gears in the transmission and to operate the clutch on the Citromatic, Citroën's semi-automatic transmission.
The car was remarkable for its era, and had a remarkable sounding name - DS is prononuced DeeEss which in French means Goddess.[20]
This high-pressure hydraulic system would form the basis of many Citroën cars, including the SM, GS, CX, BX, XM, Xantia, C5, and C6. These vehicles shared the distinguishing feature of rising to operating ride height when the engine was turned on, like a "mechanical camel" (per Car & Driver magazine). A lever beside the driver's seat allowed the driver to adjust the height of the car; this has now been replaced by an electronic switch. The height adjustability of the suspension allows for clearing obstacles, fording shallow (slow-moving) streams, and changing tires. The car would maintain a constant ride height regardless of passenger and cargo load, despite the very soft suspension. This type of suspension is uniquely able to absorb road irregularities without disturbing the occupants.[21]
Citroën was undercapitalised, so its vehicles had a tendency to be underdeveloped at launch, with limited distribution and service networks. As a result, early DS models experienced teething issues with the novel suspension.[21] The hydropneumatics were sorted out and became reliable.
For both the DS and CX models, development of the original engine around which the design was planned proved too expensive for the finances available, and the actual engine used in both cases was a modest and outdated four-cylinder design.[22]
During Citroën's 1968-75 venture with Maserati, the Citroën high-pressure hydraulic system was used on several Maserati models, for power clutch operation (Bora), power pedal adjustment (Bora), pop-up headlights (Bora, Merak), brakes (Bora, Merak, Khamsin), steering (Khamsin), and the entire Quattroporte II prototype, which was a four-door Citroën SM under the skin.[23]
Citroën was one of the early pioneers of the now widespread trend of aerodynamic automobile design, which helps to reduce fuel consumption and improve high-speed performance by reducing wind resistance. The cruising speed was the same as the top speed because of these efforts - the DS could happily run at 100 mph without disturbing the occupants.[24] The firm began using a wind tunnel in the 1950s, enabling them to create highly streamlined cars such as the DS that were years ahead of their time. So good were the aerodynamics of the CX that it took its name from the term used to measure drag coeffient: .
In the 1960's, Citroën undertook a series of financial and development maneuvers, aiming to build on its strength in the 1950's with the successful, 2CV, Type H, and DS models. Since Citroën went bankrupt in 1974, the effectiveness of these maneuvers is not clear.
The maneuvers were to address two key gaps facing the company.
The first was the lack of a midsize car between its own range of very small, cheap cars (2CV/Ami) and large, expensive cars (DS/ID).[23] In today's terms, this would be similar to a brand consisting only of the Tata Nano and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Because of the potential volume, the midsize segment was the most profitable part of the car market, and in 1965 the Citroënesque Renault 16 stepped in to address it.
The second large issue was the lack of a powerful engine suitable for export markets. The post-WW2 Tax horsepower system in France was steeply progressive, and vehicles over 2.0 (later 2.8) liters of engine displacement faced a heavy, annual tax. The result was that cars made in France were considered underpowered outside of France.[25]
In 1963, Citroën negotiated with Peugeot to cooperate in the purchase of raw materials and equipment. Talks were broken off in 1965.
In 1964, Citroën partnered with NSU Motorenwerke to develop the Wankel engine via the Comobil (later Comotor) subsidiary. For Citroën, this represented the chance for a technological end run around the French Tax horsepower system - producing a more powerful car while maintaining a small engine. The first production car developed 106 hp with a 1 liter engine,[26] while the standard GS delivered 55 hp with a 1 liter engine.[27]
In 1965, Citroën took over the French carmaker Panhard in the hope of using Panhard's expertise in midsize cars. Cooperation between the two companies had begun 12 years earlier, and they had agreed to a partial merger of their sales networks in 1953. Panhard ceased making vehicles in 1967.[23]
In 1967, Citroën purchased the truck manufacturer Berliet.[23]
In 1968, Citroën purchased the Italian sports car maker Maserati, again with an eye to producing a more powerful car while maintaining a small engine in line with the French Tax horsepower system.[25] The first production car developed 170 hp with a 2.7 liter engine.[28]
This was the 1970 SM, which featured a V6 Maserati engine, Hydropneumatic suspension, and a fully powered, sell-centering steering system called DIRAVI. The SM was engineered as if it were replacing the DS family car, a level of investment the small luxury Grand Touring car sector alone would never be able to support, even in the best of circumstances.
The year 1968 also saw a restructuring of Citroën's worldwide operations under a new holding company, Citroën SA. Michelin, Citroën's longtime controlling shareholder, sold a 49% stake to Fiat in what was referred to as the PARDEVI agreement (Participation et Développement Industriels).[23]
From a model range perspective, the 1970's started well for Citroën, supported by the successful launch of the long-awaited midsize Citroën GS, finally filling the huge gap between the 2CV and the DS - with a 1 liter, hydropneumatically suspended car. The GS went on to sell 2.5 million units. 601,918 cars were produced just in 1972, up from 526,443 in 1971, and enough to lift the company past Peugeot into second place among French auto-makers when ranked by volume of units.[29]
Circumstances became more unfavorable for Citroën as the 1970s progressed.
In 1973, Fiat sold its 49% stake in the PARDEVI holding company (that owned Citroën) back to Michelin. The June 1973 Citroën and Fiat announcement indicated that benefits foreseen for their union in 1968 had failed to materialise.[30] This was not in line with the tire company's long term strategy of ending involvements in the car manufacturing business, creating a very unstable ownership situation.[31]
Citroën suffered a financial blow with the 1973 energy crisis. While some models sold well (peak production of the 2CV and it's derivatives was 1974), the bets on Comotor and Maserati both had what was now clearly a flaw - high fuel consumption engines.
In 1974, the carmaker withdrew from North America due to U.S. design regulations that outlawed core features of Citroën cars (see Citroën SM).
Huge losses at Citroën were caused by failure of the Comotor rotary engine venture, plus the strategic error of going the 15 years from 1955 to 1970 without a model in the profitable middle range of the European market, and the massive development costs for the GS, GS Birotor, CX, SM, Maserati Bora, Maserati Merak, Maserati Quattroporte II, and Maserati Khamsin models— each a technological marvel in its own right.
40 years after the bankruptcy related to the Traction Avant, Citroën went bankrupt again, losing its existence as an independent entity, selling Berliet and Maserati, and closing Comotor.[23]
The French government feared large job losses, due to the poor cash flow situation at Citroën and the unstable ownership structure. It arranged talks between Michelin and Citroën and decided to merge Automobiles Citroën and Automobiles Peugeot into a single company. A year after the break with Fiat, on 24 June 1974, Citroën announced their new partnership, this time with Peugeot.[30] Michelin agreed to transfer control of the business to Peugeot.[23]
In December 1974 Peugeot S.A. acquired a 38.2% share of Citroën. On 9 April 1976[32] they increased their stake of the then bankrupt company to 89.95%, thus creating the PSA Group (where PSA is short for Peugeot Société Anonyme), becoming PSA Peugeot Citroën.[33]
Citroën sold off Maserati to De Tomaso in May 1975, and the Italian firm was able to exploit the sales potential of the models developed by Citroën, as well as exploit the image of the Maserati brand in a downward brand extension to sell tens of thousands of newly designed Bi-Turbo models. Berliet was sold to Renault.[23]
The PSA venture was a financial success from 1976 to 1979. Citroën had two successful new designs in the market at this time (the GS and CX), a resurgent Citroën 2CV, and the Citroën Dyane in the wake of the oil crisis, and Peugeot was typically prudent in its own finances, launching the Peugeot 104 based Citroën Visa and Citroën LNA. PSA then purchased the aging assets of Chrysler Europe, which it rebranded as Talbot, leading to losses from 1980 to 1985.
In the early 1980s Citroën was targeted by union action.[34] Events led to a mass demonstration in the streets of Paris on 25 May 1982.[34] Approximately 27,000 Citroën workers demonstrated in affirmation of their wish to work at a company which was being picketed by striking workers who had been blocking access to the factories for four weeks.[34] The demonstrations were successful and six days later work at the plants resumed. Jacques Lombard, one of the company's senior managers, had gone public with his concerns criticising the strikes.[34]
PSA gradually diluted Citroën's ambitious attitude to engineering and styling in an effort to rebrand the marque to appeal to a wider market. In the 1980s, Citroën models became increasingly Peugeot-based, following the worldwide motor industry trend called "platform sharing." The 1982 BX used the hydropneumatic suspension system and still had a Citroën-esque appearance, while being powered by Peugeot-derived engines and using the floorpan later seen on the Peugeot 405. By the late 1980s, many of the distinctive features of the marque had been removed or diluted—conventional Peugeot's switchgear replaced Citroën's quirky but ergonomic "Lunule" designs,[35] complete with self-cancelling indicators that Citroën had previously refused to adopt on ergonomic grounds. While the cars were more banal,[31] sales continued steadily.
Citroën expanded into many new geographic markets. In the late 1970s, the firm developed a small car for production in Romania known as the Oltcit, which it sold in Western Europe as the Citroën Axel. That joint venture has ended, but a new one between PSA and Toyota is now producing cars like the Citroën C1 in the Czech Republic.
In China, Citroën began selling cars in 1984 and currently builds a range of family cars that includes the C3 and Xsara and locally designed cars like the Fukang and Elysée models. Citroën is a global brand except in North America, where the company has not returned since the SM was effectively banned in 1974 for not meeting U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) bumper height regulations.
From 2003-10, Citroën produced the C3 Pluriel, an unusual convertible with allusions to the 1948-90 2CV model, both in body style (such as the bonnet) and in its all-round practicality.
In 2001, Citroën acknowledged its history of innovation when it opened a museum of its many significant vehicles - the 'Conservatoire,' with 300 cars.[36]
With the severe decline in European auto sales after 2009, worldwide sales of vehicles declined from 1,460,373 in 2010 to 1,435,688 in 2011, with 961,156 of these sold in Europe.[37]
Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën continues growing rapidly, and ranks highest in the 2014 customer satisfaction survey by JD Power in China, above luxury brands like Mercedes and BMW, and above mass market brands like Volkswagen ranking only thirteenth and seventeenth.[38] On the 10 first months of 2014 in China, the sales of Donfeng Citroen cars increased by 30% in an overall market growth of 11%.[39] The launch of the Citroën C3-XR in december 2014 will enable Citroën to continue its growth in 2015.
Despite the near death financial experience of PSA Peugeot Citroën in 2014, and financial rescue by Dongfeng Motors,[40] the "Citroën" and "DS" brands are both planned to grow.
Since 2013, the model Carolina "Pampita" Ardohaín represents Citroën and its life style in some fashion films.[41][42]
Citroën announced in early 2009 the development of a premium sub-brand DS, for Different Spirit or Distinctive Series (although the reference to the historical Citroën DS is evident), to run in parallel to its mainstream cars. This new series of cars started with the Citroën DS3 in early 2010, a small car based on the floor plan of the new C3. The DS3 is customisable with various roof colours that can contrast with the body panels. The Citroën DS3 was named 2010 Car of the Year by Top Gear Magazine, awarded first supermini four times in a row by the JD Power Satisfaction Survey UK[43][44][45] and second most efficient supermini (Citroën DS3 1.6 e-HDi 115 Airdream : True MPG 63.0mpg) by What car ? behind the Citroën C3.[46] In 2013, the Citroën DS3 was again the most sold premium subcompact car with 40% of these market shares in Europe, validating this product development.
Following this first model, a DS4 was launched in 2010, and the DS5 followed in 2011.
Their rear badge is a new DS logo rather than the familiar Citroën double chevron, and all will have markedly different styling from their equivalent sister car.[47][48] Citroën have produced several dramatic-looking concept sports cars of late with the fully working Citroën Survolt being badged as a DS, hinting at current sub-brands future intentions.
In China, Citroën has "stand alone" DS sale rooms, including vehicle plants built for the production of these vehicles. Citroën plans to produce and sell the DS 6WR in China in late 2014.[49]
Seven models got also a second or third rank: the 1971 Citroën SM, 1988 AX, 1992 ZX, 1994 Xantia, 2003 C3, 2005 C4 and 2007 Citroën C4 Grand Picasso.
Citroën has produced three Car of the Year award winners in Ireland since 1978. It is awarded by the Irish Motoring Writers Association (IMWA).
Citroën has produced height Auto Europa winners in 28 years, since 1987. 'Auto Europa' is the prize awarded by the jury of the Italian Union of Automotive Journalists (UIGA), which annually celebrates the best car produced at least at 10 000 units in the 27 countries of the European Union, and sold between September and August the previous year.
Citroën has produced nine Car of the year winners in Spain in 40 years, since 1974.
(*) : in 1994, the Renault Twingo was elected winner ex aequo
Citroën Racing, previously known as Citroën Sport and before that as Citroën Competitions, is the team responsible for Citroën's sporting activities. It is a successful winning competitor in the World Rally Championship and in the World Touring Car Championship.
Citroën vehicles were entered in endurance rally driving events beginning in 1956, with the introduction of the DS.[50] The brand was successful and won many key events over a decades long period, with what was essentially the same production car design.
The Citroën Competitions division was impacted negatively by the firm's 1974 bankruptcy.[50]
Competitive rallying was also changing - away from standard production cars to specially developed low volume models. In response to the entry of the 4 wheel drive Audi Quattro into production car rallying, Citroën developed the heavily modified Group B Citroën BX 4TC in 1986.
The team returned successfully with the Citroën ZX Rally Raid to win the Rally Raid Manufacturer's Championship five times (1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997) with Pierre Lartigue and Ari Vatanen. Citroën Racing won the Dakar Rally four times, in 1991, continuing the serial of four victories of Peugeot sport, and then again in 1994, 1995, and 1996.
From 2001, the Citroën Racing team returned successfully to the World Rally Championship, winning height times the Manufacturer's Title, continuing the serial of three WRC Championships victories of Peugeot sport, in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Citroën WRC Team pilot Sébastien Loeb also won nine Drivers' Championship. In 2004, 2005, and 2006, the French pilot won the Drivers' Championship, driving the Citroën Xsara WRC, in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 with the Citroën C4 WRC, and in 2011 and 2012 with the new Citroën DS3 WRC.
The Citroën World Rally Team has a record of 97 victories World Rally Championship.
In 2013, Citroën Racing created a new sub-division, the Citroën World Touring Car Team, in order to attempt the 2014 World Touring Car Championship. The name Citroën C-Elysée WTCC has been chosen for the race car running in this world competition. It was developed in a few months, thanks to the experience of the Citroën World Rally Team. Citroën revealed a thirty minutes film on its Internet channel, to show the different steps to the C-Elysée project development : Projet M43 WTCC, Citroën WTCC 2014.[51]
The Citroën World Touring Car Team won fourteen victories out of the fifteen first races of the 2014 WTCC season, in spite of the handicap of the 60 kg Compensation Weight put to the leading cars. The Citroën/Total WTCC Team won the Manufacturer's WTCC Championship,[52] 5 races before the end of the season, after the 2014 Shanghai race, where Citroën won first, second, third and fourth place, and recorded the fastest lap time. The Citroën World Touring Car Team pilots also got the three first ranks of the Drivers' World Touring Car Championship.
The origin of the logo may be traced back to a trip made by the 22-year-old André Citroën to Łódź city, Poland, where he discovered an innovative design for a chevron-shaped gear used in milling. He bought the patent for its application in steel. Mechanically a gear with helical teeth produces an axial force. By adding a second helical gear in opposition, this force is cancelled. The two chevrons of the logo represent the intermeshing contact of the two.[53]
The presentation of the logo has evolved over time. Before the war, it was rendered in yellow on a blue background. After the war, the chevrons became more subtle herringbones,[54] usually on a white background. With the company searching for a new image during the 1980s, the logo became white on red to give an impression of dynamism, emphasized by publicity slogan.
In February 2009 Citroën launched a new brand identity to celebrate its 90th anniversary, replacing the 1985 design. The new logo was designed by Landor Associates[55] — a 3D metallic variation of the double chevron logo accompanied by a new font for the Citroën name and the new slogan "Créative Technologie". A TV campaign reminiscing over 90 years of Citroën was commissioned to announce the new identity to the public.[56] The new look is currently being rolled out to dealers globally and is expected to take three to five years.
Some joint venture models are manufactured in third party or joint venture factories, including:
Citroën C-Zero (a rebadged Mitsubishi i-MiEV).
Citroën C3 Exclusive
2013 Citroën C-Elysee
Citroën C5 II

The certified instructors at YourCore Pilates cultivate leaner torsos and stronger muscles with a range of Pilates and yoga classes. During the semiprivate Pilates Basics class, founder Susan Aarhus focuses on safety as she guides neophytes through fundamental movements, alignment, and breathing. Using this approach to teaching, Susan believes that students will be hooked if their first Pilates experience is fun, educational, and enjoyable. The method's controlled maneuvers tone core muscles to improve posture, coordination, and scores in games of Whac-A-Mole. Other classes, such as Pilates Fusion, blend Pilates with various workout techniques, incorporating yoga and stretching exercises. In Power Pilates, students use traditional weights for full-body resistance training.
Foundation Fitness takes a holistic approach to health by developing personal wellness programs that incorporate nutrition, strength training, cardio, and massage. At all three locations, custom plans are kicked off with a fitness assessment based on the Polar Body Age system, which determines a physical body age and helps track personal goals throughout the program. After the assessment, clients join skilled trainers for one-on-one and small group sessions, as well as boot camps geared toward goals ranging from just toning up to bench pressing the moon. To further help guests down their results-driven paths, nutrition coaches step in to offer individualized eating plans, and massage therapists ease aches and facilitate greater range of motion.
In 2001, Dr. Robert Samit had a vision, which was a pretty appropriate phenomenon, considering that he's an optometrist. He saw in the future a network of eye doctors, united under the banner of a single company that provides trusted community doctors and a huge selection of value-priced and designer eyewear frames.
Together with company president Sue Downes, they equip this army of eye examiners with the latest technology. When a doctor determines that a corrective lens is called for, he or she prescribes them and MyEyeDr.'s team of eyecare consultants helps patients choose from a huge array of frames from such brands as Gucci, Coach, Oakley, and Ray Ban RX.
The optometrists at Visual Health Doctors of Optometry tap into stored expertise during comprehensive exams assisted by a high-tech computer and a wisecracking flashlight at Visual Health's three Virginia locations. After emerging from exams clutching accurate eye prescriptions, customers peruse the showroom with the help of multilingual staff members, who show off designer frames from brands such as Coach, Ted Baker, and Calvin Klein. After selecting frames, technicians in the onsite lab craft standard, Crizal, or Varilux premium lenses, a Visual Health Doctors of Optometry speciality, or place orders for contacts.

Wight will take over city Rec Dept.July 31,2013By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
He's not using the word "interim," but Mayor Christopher Louras said Cindi Wight will take over the city Recreation Department, at least temporarily, upon the departure of Superintendent EJay Bishop.
Wight, whose title in the department is "recreation director," said she was confident she could step into the role with little or no difficulty.
"We have a great staff here that works hard to support the city," she said. "I have good people behind me."
Wight said Bishop had also pledged to stay in touch as she comes up to speed on the department's various projects.
Bishop handed in his resignation Monday, effective Aug. 5. Louras said he and the city attorney were still researching the process for putting a new superintendent in place, and that he did not want to call Wight the "interim" director because he did not know if the term would carry any connotations under the city charter.
"I expect that Cindi Wight will exercise the duties of the superintendent until a full-time person is named," Louras said Wednesday.
Wight, who recently earned a master's degree in parks and recreation management, said she was "definitely" interested in being the permanent superintendent and that it would be an honor to run the department.
"It's a bittersweet moment for me," she said. "To be a department head is something I've been working to make myself ready to be. ... EJay was a wonderful man."
Louras would not indicate any preference for selecting a permanent replacement from within the department or searching outside.
"I always look for the most qualified individual, no matter how it's done," he said. "That's my philosophy — find the right person for the job with the understanding that this is an appointment. ... All appointees are key members of the administration staff."
The superintendent of the Recreation Department is appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the Board of Aldermen.
Bishop's resignation followed the revelation that he spent roughly $50,000 from the recreation activities fund on architectural services without consulting the Board of Aldermen. While the money was spent in increments of no more than $2,900, keeping payments below the threshold at which purchases must go out to bid, Bishop entered contracts with the architect.
The city charter requires board approval for all contracts.
Board President David Allaire has said he still expects the aldermen to conduct an inquiry into the expenditures, likely starting at the next board meeting, Aug. 5.

As she infamously sang previously, "A diva is a female version of a hustler," and hustle she did. Beyonce worked her ass off last year and it paid off. She tops Forbes annual list of the Top Earning Women In Music. She takes over Madonna who earned Forbes' honor last year with $125 million. Surprisingly, Madge didn't make the Top 10 cut on this year's list.
With Queen Bey's multi-platinum surprise album, successful solo and joint tour which consisted of 95 concerts, along with lucrative endorsement deals with H&M and Pepsi, she raked in a whopping $115 million over the past 12 months. Her most successful year to date. The 33-year-old mogul generated almost doubled what the runner-up earned. Check out the rest of the Top 10 below.
I love me some Mya and was a huge fan back in the day. The 34-year-old singer was a fixture on the Billboard charts during the 2000s. So much so, the publication placed her at the 97th position on their Hot 100 Artists from that decade.
You might be asking yourself what brought on this bout of nostalgia? Is Mya coming out with a new album. Hopefully so. Rather, a bunch of us are heading to check out the Grammy-winning entertainer's show in Vancouver this Wednesday. It's going to be an old school party. I can't wait.
I thought it was the perfect time to honor the woman who's sold seven million albums worldwide and provided the soundtrack to some really memorable times. I've selected and ranked what I think Mya's best hits are. Obviously, "Lady Marmalade" makes the cut, but exactly where. Find out below.
The series finale of True Blood airs tonight and I thought it was the perfect time to re-publish this post which was originally published a couple of years back and edited several times since then.
While most of us watch the show for the storylines and plot twists, there are a few who tune in to watch the True Blood hunks drop trou. There's so much homoerotism and hot naked asses during most episodes, its like watching a soft-core porn flick. Thank you HBO for all the "fangtastic" memories.
Over the years, I've swapped out actors such as Kevin Alejandro (Jesus) and Todd Lowe (Terry Bellefleur) for newbies joining the cast. In honor of all the hotness that the supernatural series has given us over the years, I thought I'd update the list one more time. Check out my revised True Blood Hotties list below. Let me know if you agree and be sure to place a vote in the poll.
YouTube recently compiled the most-played music videos for the first half of 2014. Not surprisingly with the entire planet having World Cup fever, a couple official anthems by Pitbull and Shakira for the sporting event cracked the Top 10. The "Hips Don't Lie" singer also snatched a second spot thanks to her collaboration "Can't Remember To Forget You" with Rihanna.
Frozen's "Let It Go" sing-a-long version, Chainsmokers viral "#SELFIE" and Iggy Azalea also made the cut. The honor for most-played video though goes to Katy Perry. Her "Dark Horse" visual has amassed a staggering 485 million plays. Check out the Top 10 below.
Clearly FOX 2000 Pictures know what they're doing. On the heels of rumors that the studio is working on a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire, the 1993 hit movie tops a recent report by IHS Technology. The cross dressing Robin Williams vehicle was the most aired movie on basic cable the past year. According to the research firm, it was played 66 times. I can honestly say I didn't watch it once during the report's time period. Did you?
The remainder of the Top 10 is a hodgepodge of beloved movies from yesteryear. There really is no rhyme or reason. While Sleepless In Seattle making the cut makes perfect sense, I'm shocked that the poorly-received Catwoman landed on the list. I'm guessing it probably didn't cost much to purchase the rights to air the Halle Berry stinker. Check out the rest of the Top 10 below.
For the past several years, Apple CEO Tim Cook was top dog on OUT Magazine's annual Power 50 list. For the 2014 edition, the 53-year-old has to settle for the runner-up slot. Ellen DeGeneres has reclaimed the most powerful title from the publication. The daytime talk show host stood at numero uno back in 2010.
"Everybody loves Ellen, and that's one of the reasons she's regained the top spot," OUT writes. The magazine also cites DeGeneres' epic Oscar selfie which broke the record of most retweeted post ever and briefly crashed Twitter.
For the past eight years, the publication has ranked powerful and prestigious gay men and women who have tremendous influence. The list is compiled of Hollywood power players, publishing magnates, political figures, web entrepreneurs and everything in between. It's worth nothing Ellen Page who came out recently makes the list for the first time at No. 29. Find out who the LGBT cream of the crop are below.
Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart turns 25 this year. For those who thought the genre was just a fad back in the 80s, I'm sure they also picked Beta or VHS ;) To celebrate the chart's silver anniversary, the publication counted down the Top 100 hip-hop songs of all-time. Definitely a difficult feat. Rap has certainly evolved since the days of Ice-T and Salt-N-Pepa, but is still as dominant a force as ever. Believe it or not, even PSY's "Gangnam Style" made the cut at No. 42.
I've only highlighted the magazine's Top 10 tracks below, but here's just a sampling of my favorite cuts to rank on the list but miss out on the top tier of the countdown:
"Loungin" – LL Cool J (97), "Heartless" – Kanye West (95), "C'Mon N' Ride It (The Train)" – Quad City DJ's (90), "Jump" – Kriss Kross (76), "I'll Do 4 U" – Father M.C. (72), "Funkdafied" – Da Brat (66), "Rump Shaker" – Wreckx-N-Effect (65), "Around The Way Girl" – LL Cool J (64), "Dilemma" – Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland (60), "I Got 5 On It" – Luniz (57), "Da' Dip" – Freak Nasty (51), "In Da Club" – 50 Cent (37), "One More Chance / Stay With Me" – The Notorious B.I.G. (35), "Knockin' Boots" – Candyman (34), "Treat 'Em Right" – Chubb Rock (31), "Me So Horny" – The 2 Live Crew (28), "Drop It Like It's Hot" – Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell (21), "Lean Back" – Terror Squad (20), "Best I Ever Had" – Drake (14), "Whatever You Like" – T.I. (13)
Earlier this week, Katy Perry notched her 9th career chart-topper. After a slight misstep with "Unconditionally," the 29-year-old bounced back with "Dark Horse." To be fair, "Unconditionally" did peak at No. 14 which is respectable and a number most artists would die for. Truthfully, I'm surprised the track didn't fare better considering its gorgeous visual. Meanwhile, "Dark Horse" still doesn't have an official video but managed to reach pole position on the Billboard Hot 100. Go figure.
Perry is now tied at 10th place with Elton John, the Bee Gees, Paul McCartney and Usher on the all-time list. Just ahead of her are Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder (10), Whitney Houston (11), Madonna and The Supremes (12), Michael Jackson and Rihanna (13), Mariah Carey (18) and The Beatles with a whopping 20 No. 1 hits.
I thought it was the perfect time to look back at her career and rank all her chart toppers. For me, "Teenage Dream" is by far her best. Like leaps and bounds. No matter what version, remix or cover by another artist, the track is a winner. I never thought, Perry could release a more irritating single than "E.T.," but she has. While clearly millions have warmed up to "Roar," I still find it utterly irritating even after all this time. Not surprisingly, it's my least favorite track by Katy. Check out how all her other hits rank.

First reviewed by Eirvin
In general the service was very good, but we had a bad experience in the bar on the first night
The location, the hotel's beach, food and staff at Cafe Sambal.
The atmosphre and the attention to detail was excellent. The staff was top notch, very accomodating. Great view from our room!
The location of the hotel is what drew us to it. That plus the famous reputation of the Mandarin hotels.
They were so nice, from the moment we checked in, to the several calls from us when we managed to get lost, to letting us check out late. I would go back again in a heart beat.
every thing.

My way to save Indy - kill off print edition and focus on going digital
Related Articles
Published: 26 November 2008
They are finding it more and more difficult to sell the paper's newsprint issues. The latest official circulation audit shows that the Indy they profess to love, managed to sell 201,000 copies a day last month, and only 119,000 of them were bought at the full price. The increase to a cover price of £1 has hit sales so badly that the new editor, Roger Alton, has seen fit to go public by attacking the decision.
He believes that in this "very, very inhospitable time for newspapers" many titles are in trouble and none more so than The Independent. "We're in a more vulnerable position because we're smaller," he said.
That's the negative story, of course. Now for the positive. Despite INM's initial reluctance to acknowledge the growing potential of internet news outlets and its misguided attempt at first to charge users, The Independent website is not doing too badly at all nowadays. It is certainly growing its audience rapidly, having registered 8,408,910 unique users in September, an increase of 93% compared with the same month last year.
It is not up there with the big boys, with 20 million-plus users enjoyed by some rivals, but - given the size of Indy's newsprint audience - it is a reasonably healthy state of affairs. The Indy also has had an enviable track record as a newspaper pioneer throughout its relatively short 22-year lifespan. It is credited with having "invented" bumper Saturday editions. It came up with a superb new style magazine. Most innovative of all, it piloted the switch from broadsheet to compact that led to two national rivals changing shape and stimulated a worldwide move towards the smaller format.
Now, though, comes a real chance to lead the digital revolution towards its next, inevitable phase. INM must scrap printing in favour of uploading. It will save trees, save ink, wipe out all production costs and eliminate the expense of distribution. It will enable INM to prune its marketing budget. In so doing, the paper will take a giant step into the digital age.
I rather fancy the O'Reillys will greet this idea with thin smiles and a shaking of heads before pointing out how naïve I must be. After all, I know they have toyed with the idea, and that they did some interesting sums to show how unfeasible it would be to take such a step.
On the basis of those calculations, they decided it would be ruinous financially (worse by far than the already parlous current situation). It convinced them that to pull out of print now would sacrifice far too much advertising revenue. The losses would be colossal. Even if they were to make all the savings I listed above, INM would still lose out by a wide margin. Even if it were to save a further £5 million, say, on editorial and, possibly, another £5 million on marketing, the gap between print revenue and online-only revenue would be as large as £30 million a year. Well, in year one at least. I know INM is expecting to increase its website income by 10% in the coming year, but it's from such a small base that, in real terms, the amount is negligible.
So, as I say, I imagine the O'Reillys both wondering - and not for the first time - if this media commentator has lost his marbles. But I sincerely believe their ailing newsprint paper is in danger of attracting so few readers in the coming year that the balance of those sums is likely to change for the worse. So they need to plan now for an online future and to reap the rewards of being the first major paper in the world to boldly go where no man has gone before.
That Star Trek reference could not be more apt because they are in a position to explore the final newspaper frontier, the one highlighted to an extent by none other than Rupert Murdoch in his speeches in Australia last week. Though he was stressing that newspapers do have a future (though I tend to think he means his own newspapers rather than other people's) he also made it clear that news brands are the future.
And INM cannot be other than aware that it has a distinctive brand in The Independent. Right from the outset, it was a name alone that caught the imagination and it remains, on a global scale, a saleable, marketable commodity.
One further thing before the company's executives look once more at their figures and wonder whether to take the leap. Advertising will eventually have to come to the net.
I know that sites with huge audiences, such as YouTube, still get a tiny income from ads. But the moment cannot be too far away when advertisers chase the eyeballs. For the moment I accept that multi-platform journalism is the best, and most financially prudent way of distributing content. For how long though?
Go on, Tony. Go for it, Gavin. You could lead newspapers to the promised land.

The part that I ordered was broken in shipping due to not being packed properly. It took me some time to make contact with the vendor, including several phone calls and emails. On the initial contact, I arranged to ship the damaged one back, but the person I talked to did not mention anything about getting a replacement. It took another call to determine how to get a new parts shipped to me. The replacement part arrived yesterday and I installed it on my car. Now, I am waiting for instructions on where to ship the used part I removed from my car to get my core deposit credited to my account.

Beth West Western Store has THE BEST BOOTS!
by DeAnna Lee
posted Dec 2 2011 10:48AM
Weeeeeeeeee! It's a Cowgirl boot Christmas come early! I drove up to see my friends at Beth West Western Store on Hwy 9 just south of Snohomish, and I went Wolfin' crazy! When I walk into this store, it's like I'm right back in the south again. The people that work there are so kind, AND they know their boots!
I found out that I'm a Tony Lama cowboy boot girl because of my high instep. These are the Buckaroo Tony Lamas, and they are so comfortable!
I had to wear some today! I'm gonna take them for a test drive on the dance floor tonight at Bourbon Jacks! I'll be teaching line dancing every Friday from 9 - 11 pm. If you want to scoot your boot, come hang out with me! I'd love to show you the line dances that I know. And, if you're looking for boots to help you get er' done on the dance floor, go see my friends at Beth West Western Store in Clearview just south of Snohomish.

Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell car, called the 'Mirai,' is coming to America in 2016.
Cars may be classified by a number of different criteria and objectives. However, comprehensive classification is elusive, because a vehicle may fit into multiple categories, or not completely satisfy the requirements for any. This article details the most commonly used systems of classification that include private and governmental regulations.
There are numerous ways of categorizing passenger vehicles. Where applicable, the equivalent Euro NCAP classifications are also used. Numerous jurisdictions establish vehicle classification systems for tax purposes according to their construction, engine, weight, type of fuel and emissions, as well as the purpose for which they are used. Car-related taxation is based on a sustainable environmental policy known as the user pays principle and there are many differences between different nations and jurisdictions regarding vehicle class taxes and fees. For example, the power of classification was used by cities in the 1920s to exclude taxation of...
