Let's hope they remember (other than their colleagues at VW) that a major core premise of the classic cars they are now trying to revive, was not only their distinct design, but also their affordability...

This is both butt ugly and cute as fuck at the same time

It needs to be light, cheap, fun, and not packed with features that no one needs

Citroen already make a quadricycle called the Ami which is, on my opinion, an absolute slam dunk: cute, absolutely bare bones, super easy to maintain, shockingly practical for it's size and so much fun to drive. If this is built the same way but sold as an actual car rather than a quad it'll be amazing. Fingers crossed.

The Ami, for reference:

I feel like it's a missed trick if they don't call this the "2EV".

I'm not wild about the exposed bumpers but kinda like the rest of the design, and it looks like fun.

Ah that explains why I have been hearing the screams of Clarkson, May and Hammond in the wind.

Following Renault in reviving classic designs. I dig this trend

Pretty cool. I didn't expect them to lean so far into the classic design, especially with how their other EVs look.

Not a fan of the massive emblem but everything else is a YES

Pull it back and watch it go vroooooooom

Nice to see them finally have to compete and make what most people actually want, affordable options.

I feel like this is like the Rivian, the look grows on you. I wish I could get one in the states :(

I want it.

The cynic in me predicts that this will not have hydropneumatic suspension (Because us poors can't have nice things).
I do hope I'm wrong though, would be nice at that ~€15,000 range they're aiming for.

The original one is peak-ugly. Anything you do to it is an improvement.

New beetlish

Well that interior for certain won't survive contact with reality. Those seats have zero head and neck support. Won't pass minimum safety features list. Those seats are way too low back and no head restraint/support. Plus even if it was legal, 0 stars from Euro-NCAP, when they rear end that car in crash test and the test dummy neck snaps back.

I like the idea but why do they have to make these cars look so weird all the time, instead of literally just the same?

It is kinda matte, lower details, no ornaments etc.

Also with the bumper, window frames, lights and rims it looks like a damn toy. Ugly af

It lacks the charm of the old design:
