Do we like this or not?
Ignoring the fact it's electric, I'm not sure either way.

I like it.
It would be nice to see Citoren getting back to designing the most advanced cars on the market, like they did back in the 60's (I'm not
saying this is evidence of that though).

I like it.. a lot, and I like the idea its electric just not sure the tech is evolved enough.
As said a nice mid mounted V6/8 would do the trick right now....

Yup, I'd have one of those in a heartbeat.
Just hope they don't water the concept down, fed up of seeing nice looking concept cars which end up another bland eurobox by the time they get
to production.
I think I'd prefer a hybrid powertrain until the battery tech is proven.

I like it but I don't like the wheels. I have a set of banded steels off my old Saxo.......

It looks a bit like a HotWheels car IE a bit OTT! I think by the time it's been toned down a bit for production it will look good. At the moment
it looks like it's fallen through the Chav section of halfords backwards.
But the fundamentals are there.

Hate the front!
The french are producing very good cars, and the Renault Wind on show at the local dealer is a stunner!

Dont like, It'll be okay untill you want to drive beyond it's range. Then you'll have to sit around for hours to charge it. Then
when you come to sell it you'll discover nobody wants it 'cos the batteries cost more than its worth to replace!

The wheels are too big. It would be a very harsh ride. And get those wind farms and solar panels out and you've got yourself free power.
OT does anyone know about those new wind generators that go on roof gables? I am interested for my house.
It is an English invention.

I quite like it, though not too fond of the wheels or the rear wing. But overall yeah, I like it.
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

I quite like it but the wheels are way too big for my tastes. It seems over on this (Canada) side of the pond all the new cars are coming with huge
/tall wheels on them.

Its Gorgeous, but I am a Citreon fan. If its a propper Citreon it'll have Hydronumatic suspension so the wheels shouldn't effect the ride
(You could drive a DS with 3 wheels and no tyres, and I've ridden in an XM that had a blow out).
Electric would be cool as a second car or if the infrastructure improved but I've prefer an engine.

You want to be careful with those wind generators that go on your House, I saw something on Tv a few years ago that said in London they'd take
more than a life time to break even, though I can't remember how long it was.

How come a Citreon Badge is so distasteful to so many one here? I know build quality isn't great but Citreons usually fair better than Alfas in
that respect and in many cases are just as beautiful.
