I am laughing (well, rather crying) because you forgot again what I said:
DS was a French car, so sold mainly in France.
At that time each country was buying its own cars. So most of the DS were sold in France. 1.5 millions of cars sold on a market of 60 millions of people is very good.
And the DS was a large and expensive car for the European marked. So it is also normal that they sold less than a small/comact economic car (cf how many Renault 5 they sold).
The 2CV is a 50s car. The traction is a 30s car. So it is normal that in the end of their production they were looking old. Is it so difficult to understand that in Europe the models were changed only 10 or 20 years after the launching, and that in USA they restyled them each year or every two year? Different countries, different systems, different cultures.
Saying that there are only 9 years appart is stupid as the DS was launched in 56, not in 75. It is like if you compare a 1999 Mexican VW Beetle to a 1999 VW New Beetle. Of course the first one is outdate, as it was started 60 years before the other one...
