AMT Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 This.... http://www.autoblog.com/2015/04/08/citroen-aircross-crossover-concept-shanghai/#image-2 ...I like this. They seem to be doing well (I think) in the styling just now. With the rubber side or whatever it is, cusion thing you'd think their Cactus car would look ridiculous and tacky, but I've now seen two in moderate colours and I thought 'hell... that looks pretty good!'. And the thing in the link also looks good, I mean its not something I'd ever buy or want but forgetting my own 'likes' Citroen are doing quite well I think. What do we think? Quote
AdrianL Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I think a lot of Citroen's styling over the past 10 years has been pretty decent to be fair. Still probably wouldn't buy one though. Quote
AMT Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 The C5/C6 were horrid and recent C4's were pretty crap too, an exception to their recent good styling lol. DS3's been a money magnet for them surely, there everywhere, in every colour combo you can think of. Its like a new mini...cept good looking. Speaking of, anyone seen the new minis with their MASSIVE rear lamps? ...puke lol Quote
Will370z Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 They may be starting to look a little funky but I'd never buy a Citroen, just don't trust them electronically after so many stories from friends. 1 Quote
Neilp Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I can't believe this is from the same person who just said a merc A45 AMG is ugly what's wrong with you man? Specsavers are due a visit from you I think Quote
StevoD Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Erm doesn't citreon done that cactus thing with pads on the door I would say there styling is great Quote
spursmaddave Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 They may be starting to look a little funky but I'd never buy a Citroen, just don't trust them electronically after so many stories from friends. Apart from a random radio reset Mary's DS3 has been fine so far The DS3 is a good looking little car I think, yes you can tell what parts have been built to a price but then that's pretty much par for the price range Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

steve916 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I first saw a couple of cacti, of the Citroen variety, on a learner driver tv program a couple of weeks ago. They are really ugly with that lump of rubber stuck to the sides. I have only ever owned 1 Citroen, a Picasso, and after that I vowed that I would never own a Citroen again. Quote
DoogyRev Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Its a good job they don't sell Citroen's over here. . . Quote
GMballistic Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Don't like the upholstery colour choice but other than that I've seen worse, ...I mean it's better looking than a Freelander for one. Quote
Paddy78 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Gill had a C4 for a couple of years as a company car. It was nothing spectacular, but we never had any issues with it. We wouldn't have bought one though. Quote
Rock_Steady Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Unfortunately my dad had a love affair with Citroen for a while. Spent many years in the passenger seat wearing a paper bag on my head. Yeah, they're pretty funky these days but, would I buy one? with real money?? ................................no. Quote
AMT Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Aw Neil no, A classes are terrible lookin lol. I dunno it seems to be the big companies BMW, Merc that can't seem to make a good looking hatchback lol all the lower end stuff generally is ok lookin. Just not for me im afraid. I'd rather have ...pains me to say it... an Astra 3 door than an A class... I'm not even really a fan of the Astra (too big for what it is). Speaking of Mercs, I seen for the first time this new crossover 4x4 slanted roof looking thing yesterday and it looked vile. (rival for the x6?) Quote

ianphampton Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I had a Citroen GS many MANY years ago (around 1974 iirc) and it was awful. I'd never buy Citroen again even if you stuck hot needles in my eyeballs . . . . . Edited April 10, 2015 by ianphampton 1 Quote
