![]() Today's car of the day is Majorette's 2011 Citroen DS4 ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures on the real car, please visit: Citroen DS4 ![]() ![]() This is another nice example of how nice Majorette's can be. Full tampos on the front, back and side, who says basic range cars can't be well done too? ![]() ![]()

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Now, this is really a very nice Majorette!! I have a few good ones, but most I have in my collection are old ones that are still in my collection only for "interesting attempts in diecast." I hope they make many more as nice as this Citroen. |

The "jewelled" headlights are a very nice touch...shows what can be done with thoughtful engineering. |

It is so nice to see Majorette's available again - granted not in the US but still great to know they are business and making great, well detailed toy cars. Great looking Citroen and the front and rear tampo really sets it apart from much of the offerings from Matchbox.

Unlike early DSes, this doesn't look goofy at all. Majorette always does better than Matchbox or Hot Wheels, and at often at around the same price. This is no exception. Looks great! I wish a major US chain would pick up Majorette. Amazon is about the only online US dealer, but they only have about half a dozen different items, mostly garages. |

Wow! Excellent choice for CoTD. Majorette knocks another outta the park. This is how it's done...Mattel take notice. It's an actual car with no goofy tampos. |

Gone of the day with round headlamps. I kind of miss it myself. I think that's one thing I enjoy more about my stang is those round lamps. |

On the one hand, it's nice to see that Majorette is capable of producing a really nice model. On the other hand, just where the heck does Citroen get off calling this bland-looking thing a DS??? A REAL Citroen DS has a distinctive character never before or since seen in any car. This is just another exercise in "Me too" styling. Nice model, yeah. Will it get my vote for "Car Of The Week"? Not bloody likely! Edited by corvairjim, Apr 15 2015, 01:54 AM.

I recently got one of these shipped in for my collection, and I really like it, despite not being familiar with the real car. I'm impressed with many of the recent Majorette offerings, and of course it pains me that none of these European brands cranking out really nice models get any U.S. peg space next to the Mattel toys. |

My thoughts exactly. If I were to see one on the street there isn't a whole lot that distinguishes it from other five doors from other companies. Still like Majorette's attention to detail and castings of everyday cars. |
