The lists above come from Citroën in France but do not tie up with the information provided by American Citroën enthusiasts who state:

2CVs, Ami 6s and Dyanes were not sold in the US after model year 1967.

Ami 8s were never sold in the USA.

The Dyane 6 Méhari was sold in the US in model years 1969 and 1970. Interestingly, the figures above list the Dyane but not the Dyane 6 Méhari.

The D-series was not sold after model year 1972.

The GS and CX were never sold in the US by Citroën, though a few GSs were imported for testing purposes, not for sale.

A few GSs were sold in Canada.

A few GSs and several hundred CXs were sold in the USA by businesses and individuals other than Citroën Cars Corporation.
