Revenge of the 2CV?

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?
