thread_title: Rant photos

message: Hello, I am from Spain. This is very interestant article and I think that very well documented.
Sorry for my not very good english.
But, you forget to mention the most important production plant outside France for the CX. 
Between October of 1976 and September of 1980, the Citroën CX was manufactured in the spanish Citroën plant of Vigo, in the Community of Galicia, and was the 1977 Car of the Year in Spain.
The only engine was the petrol 2.400cc with carburator and 115CV, 4v first and 5v later. And some units of CX 2400 GTI with injection.
The spanish version was CX 2400 Palas (note that in Spain the luxury equipment PALLAS was renamed PALAS (with only one L), and I think that was the only country to make this, beacuse the South American CX manufactured in Chile was Pallas. 
You can confirm all this with a review of some of the spanish Citroën entusiasts pages, specially this, were you can see photos of a fine unit of a spanish CX 2400 Palas, Made in Vigo >>>

Another good Citroën forum is >   http://www.lhmmaniacos.com   and a very good page for classics of all car brands is > http://www.pieldetoro.net
The CX was discontinued in Spain because the new project of government "Plan Sahagún" for 1980, for the free entrance of foreign cars. Citroën Hispania discontinued the CX for manufacture the Peugeot 505. Since that moment, the CX began to be imported from France
Thanks,
Eugenio.

replies: text: Actually, there *was* a prototype with a hatch.  At the time, "proper" big cars had a boot, estates and small cars had hatches.
Compare with the BL Princess, with a boot, and the Austin Ambassador.  Reputedly there was to be a hatchback version of the Series 2 CX, but it never came to anything.

thread_title:  Facts to add 

message: I wonder if there is some contradiction here:
"In 1986 the styling was revised, and became known as the Series 2. The cars lost some of their earlier distinctiveness. The suspension became stiffer. Plastic bumpers were the most notable exterior change, giving what some say is a more aggressive look, as opposed to the more elegant series 1 design."
"The most collectible CX models are the very rare Series 1 GTi Turbo, and the Series 2 Prestige Turbo."

replies: text: The statement seems to give the turbocharger more significance than the styling, which is more of an opinion than a contradiction. It's not an encyclopaedic comment at all though. – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 12:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

The Grace Jones TV commercial was made, if I remember well, in 1985...and the CX in the commercial sports plastic bumpers and a "normal" (vs the "lensatic" speedometer) instruments pad.Randroide 09:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: If Someone Tells You That "Miniscule" Isn't a Real Spelling...
"This spelling [miniscule] was first recorded at the end of the 19th century (minuscule dates back to 1705), but it did not begin to appear frequently in edited prose until the 1940s. Its increasingly common use parallels the increasingly common use of the word itself, especially as an adjective meaning `very small.' "
During the last half of the 20th century, dictionary lines have been adding "miniscule." A telling case comes with the "Concise Oxford" dictionaries. The Eighth Edition, published in the mid-1980s, does have an entry for "miniscule," but labels it as "erroneous." However the "Concise Oxford Dictionary," Ninth Edition (1995) lists "miniscule" as simply a "variant" spelling.
The "American Heritage Dictionary," Third Edition (1992) gives "miniscule" as a full-fledged variant of "minuscule," as does "Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary," Tenth Edition (1993). Merriam-Webster's has been listing "miniscule" in their dictionaries since at least 1971.
"The Random House Unabridged Dictionary," Second Edition (1987) lists "miniscule" as a variant, with a usage note stating that while "this newer spelling is criticized by many, it occurs with such frequency in edited writing that some consider it a variant spelling rather than a misspelling."
I am told (on an Internet newsgroup) that "Macquarie's Australian Dictionary," Second Edition lists "miniscule" as a variant spelling as well.
Also noted in the "miniscule, minuscule" entry in "Merriam- Webster's Dictionary of English Usage" is this:
"It may be, in fact, that miniscule is now the more common form. An article by Michael Kenney in the Boston Globe on 12 May 1985 noted that miniscule outnumbered minuscule by three to one in that newspaper's data base.
That entry concludes with this statement on the spelling "miniscule":
"Our own view is that any spelling which occurs so commonly, year after year, in perfectly reputable and carefully edited books and periodicals must be regarded as a standard variant."

replies: text: My 5 cents: To a spaniard "miniscule" is an eyesore. Minuscule comes from the latin "minus", which creates a lot of words in spanish: "minúsculo", "minusvalia", "minusvalorar"...Randroide 07:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Can someone take a look at this?

message: Article uses the phrase last Real Citroën without any further explanation. Is this a universally understood concept? 
Wikipedia usually involves links to elaborate. Perhaps a separate Wikipedia page can explain  Real Citroën. Is it just the inevitable result of badge engineering, like last Real Buick (before GM took over)? PLawrence99cx (talk) 01:36, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
