It's ok, you're opinion and viewpoint is always valid:)

I'm not citroen's greatest fan either- some of their cars were atrocious.
But the majority had major character to them.
You liked the C2 because it looked cute and was clever inside.
You liked the C3 because other superminis were prettier and it had sad eyes:(
You liked the DS because it was quirky.
You liked the Saxo because it was just... different.
You liked the XM because they were a bit less common than better built, more efficient rivals.
You liked the 2CV because it has more character than you ever imagined. And James bond drove one (altered, I admit).
 
The only Citroens with real character are the 2CV & DS. Saxo's weren't different, they were, and are, just your average (crappy) hatch... There's nothing different at all about it.

Looks, rarity and efficiency != Character.
 
Can't forget performance, or sheer originality. The RX-8 probably has the most character on the North American market, less more exotic and expensive cars, IMO. Looks alone, or rarity, or efficiency don't make a car. A combintation of each however, would still produce the 1 in 10,000 ricer Toyota Prius. . .omg I wonder if someone's ever done that!?
 
I had this van that wouldn't start unless you asked it nicely. If you got angry you would have to go arc the starter solinoid but if you asked it nicely it would start right up.
