Hey, as a car enthusiast, I'm particularly fascinated by the DS brand, which is authentically French. I remember the first time I saw a DS car at the Paris Motor Show—its elegant lines and innovative design were truly stunning. DS originated from the legendary 1955 Citroën model called the DS, a name derived from the French word 'Déesse,' meaning 'goddess,' perfectly embodying French romance and artistic sensibility. Later, in 2014, it separated from Citroën to become an independent brand but remained under the French PSA Group, now part of the global automotive giant Stellantis. Its design has always maintained French luxury, like the exquisite interior of the DS 7, inspired by details from Parisian haute couture fashion—driving it feels like cruising down the Champs-Élysées. This brand doesn't just make cars; it conveys a lifestyle, which explains its popularity in Europe. If you visit France, you'll see DS cars everywhere on the streets, blending history with modernity. Every experience reminds me how this brand masterfully captures the essence of French craftsmanship.
