....Citroen should put the C-Airdream into production:

I think dump the front & screw the C4's on and its a defo hit!

Any idea on what size engine is in it? Those wheels look superb. A big thumbs up.

Its been around for years - copyright on pic is 2002. In fact its nose has influenced subsequent designs like C4 and revised C5 and C6 as have other bits.
It may never have even had an engine!

Doors are too long, it would be hard to exit in a small parking bay..
Wheels remind me of the plastic windmills on sticks we had as kids, but with a nut in the middle instead of a pin nail.. [:)]
Cars too low, people would have to be limbo dancers to get in.. Or use a can opener.. [}:)]
Visability out the front would be from a very low angle and non at all via the rear window, if it has one?
The car would have to drive though all the spray thrown up from big lorries, the driver would be blinded every time he passed one. [:0]
It wont go down any side roads that have speed bumps.. And thats 90% of them now!! Same problen in a multi story car park, it wouldn't make the top angle of the ramps without being stranded like a beached whale. [:D]
And - - its very ugly.. people would be tempted to squash it underfoot like a bug. heh heh.. [}:)]
I like the colour though.. (I am colour blind) [:o)] [:I] lol...

but what if its got hydraulics and thats its lowest resting point? would that make it any better?
I'm no big fan of it, but it okay!

Ooooo, i would buy one of those [;)]
As Ross says, a bit of C4 look on the headlamps, a decent suspension (hydraulics of course, what were you thinking of?) and we have an SM sucessor.
Does it come in scale models? would be nice to sit beside my scale DS...

I like that alot, first ive seen of it (even if it has been about a while). IT gets by vote, and if and when it was produced (which is probably unlikely), I would consider buying one.
Reading further into the site its got the 3.0l v6 210bhp, and hydractive 3 suspension.

Calm down chaps!!! Its a concept car and probably doesn't actually have an engine.....anyway, i think I've seen this bodyshape before, ah yes, here we are...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 4558419606[:0]

Though with Wilkobob's finances and the trend of his finances the likelihood of ever actually owning one...well its more likely that I will one day learn to fix my car without help.
But yes it looks rather tasty i must say [8D]

bxbodger, don't tell you bought that piece of garbage[:P]?!
Lol!

bxbodger · Unread post by **bxbodger** » 28 Jul 2005, 18:49

NO!!!! Someone appeared on the modified Minor forum and owned up to buying it- apparently under that Airdream-esque shape there's the front end chassis bits of a Minor and they were after advice on the lever arms, must be thinking of putting it on the road.........
Anyway, I already have an ugly car, a BX!!

You should be banned for saying that!
I'll call my mom for some good slapping on the rear, you bad bad boy!
