    Citroën DS3 Concept 2009

    It's leaked before Geneva - not any real info yet per se, just speculation.

    I think it's a busy if not interesting design and that the production version will be better - not saying this one is bad. Kinda cool wheels too.

    I don't believe there's a press release yet.

    I guess a mod could move this to the Hide-out.

    "DS Inside". English lettering in the quintessential French car. That´s how wrong they got it.

    How is this a DS? It lacks two screens.

    Anyway... it lacks the weirdness of a real Citroen DS.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Apparently the car is called DS INSIDE (was the caps lock broken or something?). And then there's this:

    It basically says that the DS letters don't come from the classic DS, but rather they mean Different Spirit.

    Really?

    I hate marketing.

    What I like about it is the style and gallic charm.

    What I don't like is the burden of history placed upon this vehicle by using the DS lettering.

    Either do it properly, or don't do it at all guys.

    This.

    I was expecting a DS, that is not what I got.

    This is a normal midsize hatch that comes from 2-3 years in the future, not a revolutionary sedan 35 years ahead of its time.

    It might be okay if they called it something else but it's nothing like the mythic DS cars of the past. Epic Fail.
