Citroen has launched a pair of special edition DS3s – the DS3 DStyle Red & DSport Red – to give New Year sales a bit of a fillip. Price from £15,655. [nggallery id=1343 template=customlinks] There’s nothing quite like a special edition of an established car with extra goodies for not a lot more money to get footfall in to […]
Citroen DS3 hits 200,000
The upmarket Citroen C3 – the very appealing Citroen DS3 – has hit the 200,000 production mark this week, a little over 2 years from launch. [nggallery id=644 template=customlinks] We will hold our collective hands up and confess that Citroen’s decision to revive the DS moniker to stick on a range of tarted up prosaic Citroen cars was something […]
Vauxhall, Opel, Pegueot, Citroen merger talks fail
Talks between GM Europe and PSA (Peugeot Citroen) have failed as a French government bailout for PSA looks imminent. When we reported in March that G.M. Europe (Vauxhall and Opel) has signed an agreement with PSA (Peugeot Citroen) to cut costs and share platforms we thought it a pointless gesture; the savings, compared to the […]
Citroen DS3 Cabrio to get Top Gear Live UK debut
The drop top version of the DS3 – the Citroen DS3 Cabrio – is to get its UK debut at this year’s Top Gear Live shows. [nggallery id=1204 template=customlinks] There’s been expectation that Citroen would chop the top off the excellent DS3 ever since the tin top version of the DS3 launched 3 years ago, […]
Vauxhall & Opel could merge with Peugeot Citroen.
GM Europe (Opel and Vauxhall) could extend their deal with PSA (Peugeot Citroen) with a Joint Venture or merger. When GM Europe and PSA announced they were forming an alliance earlier this year, we asked if this was an admission that the mainstream car market in Europe had changed forever, and an alliance between Opel, […]

Citroen has given the C3 Picasso a mild makeover for its home show in Paris this month. Goes on sale early 2013. [nggallery id=1237 template=customlinks] The Paris Motor Show is a big deal for all car makers, but more so for the French motor industry. Which is why we have a facelift for the Citroen […]
It’s the Citroen DS3 Cabrio
Citroen has revealed the DS3 Cabrio, an open-top version of the very good DS3. Debuts at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. We did expect the Citroen DS3 Cabrio to come with the ‘Airflow’ badge attached, but Citroen has decided to keep it simple, so DS3 Cabrio it is. Interestingly, this isn’t really a cabriolet in […]
Citroen DS3 Airflow Cabriolet heading for Paris
The Citroen DS3 Cabriolet – expected to be the Citroen DS3 AirFlow – will debut at the Paris Motor Show next month. The Citroen DS3 is still – three years on from its launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009 – one of our favourite cars. It looks good, goes well and has a Gallic charm […]
Production of Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero EVs halted
Production of the Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero – both the Mitsubishi i-MiEV under the skin – has been halted by Mitsubishi. The Peugeot iOn EV arrived at the Frankfurt Motor Show three years ago and the Citroen C-Zero EV arrived a few months later, heralding PSA’s arrival in the EV market with a car based on the Mitsubishi […]
Citroen C1 Connexion: It’s the People’s Car
Citroen asked its Facebook Fans exactly what they wanted from a C1. The result is the Citroen C1 Connexion – now on sale. We thought it was only modern politicians who decided policy according to opinion polls. But it looks like car makers are having a bash at using the same trick to get buyers on […]
