Thanks stu, that's a really good question. You haven't been able to buy a new Citroen in the States since 1974. The company sold the DS and the SM through a very limited network of dealers, but sales were low (though the SM was moderately successful) so the company decided to pull out of the American market. By then Peugeot had acquired a 40% stake in Citroen, and full ownership the following year.
Part of the issue was the ongoing difference between European and US regulations regarding safety, emissions etc.
The best way to buy a new Citroen here is to import one directly from the manufacturer or a dealer in Argentina or Brazil where Citroens are sold. There's a new factory in Brazil which builds the C3, for example.
The classic Citroens have achieved something of a cult status and there's long been a Citroen Car Club of America. You mostly see them on the west coast and the east coast but with few inbetween. There are several specialist Citroen mechanics and restoration shops dotted around the country; I personally know people in Georgia and Kentucky.
One of the biggest drawbacks about moving and living here is the lack of French cars. Five years can go by without seeing one!

We ordered new wiper blades for a nissan cashcow for eurocrapparts .. well they gave us old style blades to go on to replace the modern flat type... but look at the names on them... like a blast from the past
