The Citroen DS3 has grabbed Fifth Gear’s small car of the year award, the Ferrari 458 Italia the fast car award and the Skoda Superb Estate the family car award. We recently reported on Top Gear’s 2010 Car of the Year Awards which saw our very own favourite small car of the year – the […]
Citroen DS3: Top Gear Car of the Year
Top Gear has declared their car of the year as the brilliant Citroen DS3. Bravo – an outbreak of common sense for COTY polls. We’ve seen some pretty barking ideas about what deserves to be a Car of the Year. The most barking of the contenders has been the Nissan LEAF, a car that is […]

Citroen DS4 Racing / DS4 Sport planned for 2013
Citroen will launch the DS4 in 2011, but they now appear to be ready to launch a Citroen DS4 Racing hybrid with 300bhp in 2013 You would have expected Citroen to cash in rather more on their enormous world rally champion success.
