The purchase of Panhard in 1965 gave Citroën some extra development resource which was tasked to do the unthinkable – replace the 2CV.
When the Dyane came out in 1967, it provided a much greater level of refinement than the 2CV, yet without heavily compromising the charm. What it never quite managed, though, was the very job it was intended to do. The Dyane was discontinued in 1982, eight years before the 2CV.
