Drool.  :wub:


It's supposed to debut at the Shanghai Auto Show next week.

Very nice.  Almost looks like a Fisker or Callum design.

Promising.

Possible replacement for the C6?

With a little production car cleanup, this thing could look really, really good.  It's a bit fussy now, but that's to be expected with a concept.

It should do just fine on European roads, then.

I see this not so much as a production ready design, as an indicator for future cars from Citroen.

It looks great - a radical departure from the C6 (which looks bland, and quite honestly (frankly, for Greg) poorly executed)

Hello - that looks very promising indeed. I look forward to seeing the real thing.

Raza said it well - looks great, just needs to ditch the fussy detailing.  I would love to see just one modern concept, especially from Citroen, which uses rear fender skirts, or something close.  While old fashioned because these used to be common, I still think they're futuristic looking, especially since they cut down on drag.  For SM fans, check out this feature from JalopnikL

Not that Citroen should do a retro version of this, but so much of it is so modern that I have no doubt a new car can recall some of this look and just look unbelievably great.

Retro is so un-french.

Yes. Very BMW Concept CS, and that's a good thing.

A little busy.  Those wheels are hideous too.

Besides that, I like it.
