I knew I'd seen adaptive headlights recently but couldn't think where - it was a DS on the BBC's Top Gear program last week. They did have some good things to say about it and mentioned some of Citroen's innovations http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/prog3/bestlooker.shtml "New presenter Richard Hammond's vote is for the Citroen DS (pictured bottom left), which was launched in 1955. Light years ahead of its time, the DS changed the direction of car design when it was unveiled, and 12,000 orders were placed almost immediately" I don't think they mentioned that it, I believe, can run on only 3 wheels because of the smart suspension -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
