New Citroen Picasso... sort of

The first images of Citroen's new compact MPV were leaked in a rather unusual way. Someone is selling a die-cast model of the yet-to-be-released C4 Picasso on Ebay.es...


My guess is that there are people at Citroen who are not very happy right now, assuming this is a realistic model of the car which is to be shown at the Paris auto show in September. As for the car itself, it seems like a worthy contender in this class of cars which has become quite popular during the last decade.

Interesting ...those headlights look like they came straight off the DS.

And the rear lights straight off a Volvo XC90.

I also wonder why the glass in front of the front door is so big. It seems like a major design flaw to me.
 
Maybe the proportions are not very exact given that it is a die-cast model?
This is interesting because usually actions like this will be copied many times over.
 
The rear lights are sort of similar to an XC90's, but are really like an evolution of the normal C4's lights, can't remember whether it's the 3-door or 5-door, or both, though.

The way that front three-quarter window kicks up towards the windscreen reminds me of the Ford S-Max and Galaxy twins, as does the whole thing in general.

That window is probably large because everyone who drives a peoplemover type car complains about the thick pillars that are often there that obscure vision - we have a TT series Zafira - the one before current new one - and it's pretty bad.

Overall, if it turns out like that, then it's not bad.
