Citroen concept

There's a new Citroen concept heading to Frankfurt next week and, well, it looks a bit like this.

Citroen has released a shadowy teaser shot, accompanied by precisely zero information, and we have lightened it through the miracle of mechanised computerisation. Therefore we can confidently conclude that, er, it slightly resembles a futurised 2CV.

Sorry. We really don't know anything else at this stage. Not even a name. The concept could point towards the styling of the new C2, which looks more audaciously curvaceous that anything we've seen from Citroen before.

There's plenty of Fiat 500 about that bubbly roofline, but that narrow-eyed front end looks much aggressive than Citroen's current bug-eyed range.

Rumours suggest the little concept will be packed with eco-friendly technology. Could we be looking at a hybrid? An all-electric city car? A hydrogen fuel cell vehicle? OK, we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves.

We'll find out all about the 2CV - sorry, the new Citroen concept - in Frankfurt next week. For now, what do you think of the looks?

It looks like a blob. It's like that character from Monsters V Aliens. I really don't want one.

I totally agree with the pixar idea, but I don't think it looks all that bad. Seems kinda girly though

Not the best of photos for a start being mega-pixellated as it is. Moving on, it does look like a futuristic 2CV - are we about to see another RFM (RetroFashionMobile) like the 500 and Mini? And unless they're only expecting hobbits to use the rear doors they look like suicide ones to me. Interesting.....
