Citroen will launch its smallest and most radical MPV yet, the C3 Picasso, at next September’s Paris Show. The new model, which has a close mechanical relationship with the PSA’s Peugeot 207 family, sets out to ditch the “worthy” image associated with MPVs.

I love it - it's different and truly innovative. I actually think the colour suits it too - Lime is back in fashion - you only need to look at the New Fiesta, Seat Ibiza, Ford Focus RS and this to see that. It's innovative and different - and Citroen deserve praise for doing things their way again! Apparently, the windscreen was inspired by the old DS!

Very refreshing design and quite a departure from the recent Citroen 'face'.  The interior pic looks wonderfully light and airy too.  Yes, I certainly do agree that the lively lime metallic hue goes well with the lines and don't forget another recent entrant that looks good in electric green is the Scirocco.

It certainly does look like Citroen is on the right track and should achieve success with this model.  Keeping the range simple should also keep costs down, I would think, as long as sales volume is strong.
