Which I don't think is in the true spirit of the original DS. Rather than as a model range, it could have been better if Citroen introduce the modernised version of the classic DS and even the CV, in the similar manner like Mini Cooper, VW Beetle & Fiat 500. If you want to capitalize on its heritage, it's got to be as a specific/unique model. This concept car looks more like a hatch. Which I don’t think is in the true spirit of the original DS.

If Citroen wants to stand out it has to work harder. To me, its design makes no sense at all. Smaller cars are now wide accepted, if Citroen manages to come out with a speedy little trolley that would ensure its market in that segment. Put any existing 1.8 or 2.0 DOHC engine together with a rigid chassis, proper suspension, decent brake, and with its size and weight, this thing likely will run side by side with a VW MK V.
