The DS3, DS4 and DS4 will be upscale, quirky versions of their regular C3, C4 and C5.





Excellent. Extravagantly french, and exceptional looking. Saw this on another forum, and after someone mentioning it, areas of the car pay homage to the DS Pallas.

I can't think of how it could be any less like the DS. This is hideously busy.

The rear (The roof and to a lesser extent, the roofline) reminds me of the DS Break.

This must be a very small car; those headlights look out-of-proportion to the rest of the vehicle.


I'm digging the two-tone, but not the break around the door.

I don't mind that it's busy. I think it would otherwise be boring. Sometimes, small cars need flair to keep them interesting.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

I think that half B pillar and the whole window treatment is pretty cool, too.

Almost makes you wish it was a convertible. :mask:

I actually kinda like it.  I really like the half B-pillar.

Meh. I don't like half-assed design: they should have kept the B-pillar or done away with it completely.

Payman

I like it. It's like a Fiesta on LSD.

Yawn

My cousin in Turkey has a C4.. I like it

It's illegal for Citroen to build anything that's NOT ugly.

I like everything but the lower grill though.

Have you seen the C6?



And the new C5?

The C5 looks nice, I don't care for the C6 though; it just looks weird.

I'm down with it mainly because it's a hatch.  Hell, I saw a Swift today that piqued my interest...  But like Payman said it sort of looks like a Forcus.

USA_Idol

I think I like it.  I'm not sure, though.   :mask:

It appears to be wearing a white beret.

Berets suck.

The back of the C6 looks a little weird, but not ugly. But what about the front??
The C5 looks kinda cool, in an ugly sorta way.

(and I'm kinda mostly kidding about the ugly thing, but Citroen has never produced a car that wasn't extremely funky looking.)

Did you see any C6es when you were in Germany? I've seen three in France, and my heart stopped every time I saw one. They are something to behold in person IMO.

I left in Jan '05. Don't remember seeing any yet.

ALL Citroens are "something" to behold in person..  :devil:

C6s are very rare in Germany. In that price range most people go with the locals.

So what happened to this? There was nothing at Geneva.

Imagine if that had been the new Sebring.

Minus the kraptacular nose it's not too bad.

But on principle I can't say it's good.  ;)
