Leaked! Citroen C-Airscape Concept bound for Frankfurt
Rumblings that Citroen would be unveiling a new cabrio concept at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show have been confirmed after a series of images leaked out from a Citroen-specific forum. The pictures of the C-Airscape look authentic enough, with a highly stylized front clip, expansive windshield and what we're assuming is a soft-top tucked beneath a toneau cover. We're particularly partial to the swage-line that incorporates the door handles into one elongated piece of chrome.
The cabrio version will likely foretell the future of the C5 sedan, which is expected to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Beautiful? Look at how much car is in front of the front axle. Ant the "highly stylized" front fascia only drives the point home. I’m sure its the new Euro NCAP pedestrian safety laws are behind this. Though I think the Audi A5 is proof that pedestrian safety doesn’t necessarily mean big hideous schnoz.

Citroen built a beautiful car. I didn`t think they could. Look Chrysler! This is how the new Sebring should have looked like.
European designers are on a roll. Ford in Europe is another example of nice design vehicles.

Funny, since this looks A LOT like a photoshopped Ford Iosis.

I'm betting it has a hardtop. All the Cabriolet cars from PSA (Citroen-Peugeot) have had hardtops for the last 7 years.
