It's not a Seat is it? that grill looks like the new Seat range.

Middle one is a Toyota - 3 cars share the same platform and a whole shed load of running gear.

Apologies for the poor pic quality (taken with my telephone) Article in Auto Express a few weeks back discusses 3 manufatures pooling technology to produce new mini class car - apparently the Pug variant will have the stop - start engine.

All I can think is "WHY"...they already have the C2, C3 and Plurial, do they really need to add another small car to the range.
The C4 does look quite interesting though, the Coupe anyway is a nice looking car, the saloon looks a bit funny at the back.

Agree with you VLL, I mean what is goning to be in the same range as it?
The C1 is ???
The C2 is AX
The C3 is ZX
The C4 is *newbie*
The C5 is Xantia
The C6 is XM

C2 - AX
C3 - Saxo
C4 - Xsara
C5 - Xantia
C6 - Xm

It is for people who find the C2 a bit big and cumbersome.
Apparently they are all built on the same production line in the Czech republic too.

Looks like Citroen are doing a 'Volkswagen'
Too many cars in the range which all seem to blend into one another's model size designation - Christ knows why they bother, just stick to the old 4-5 car line up and be done with it!!

Looking at the 4 door 107 I wouldn't like to be in the back if it was rammed.

My local small town rag has just reviewed this little Citroen, Puegot and Toyota. Gave it a good review, I have my doubts over build quality though. Just as Citroen were improving this new model will be made in..... the Chech republic apprently. Now I'm not knocking the Chech's I did own at one time a Dacia duster as used by the Chech milatary but hang on, not know for quality car manufacture. [?]
