1.6 liter turbo charged unit producing 200 hp. And looks like that, seriously. Its just stunning. I don't know if its rwd or not but if it is, the recipe here is flawless in my opinion.

Also, a question (sort of), America gets models specific to them, like Europe, and now, automakers are isolating Chinese models for that market only and its just going to get more bigger.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that it is aimed at the Toyota Reiz which in itself is a great great car. Friends who owned C class switched to Reiz (known here as Mark -X) and say it is better than the Germans and they recommend everyone that. For mainly two reasons: Toyota reliability, German luxury and comfort in a Japanese car, RWD with V6 and smaller 2.5 units. Just pure awesome.

God I wish the Mark-X came to the States.

I like this Citroën, although I think the design is a bit too conservative for a Citroën. I doubt it's RWD though, Citroën hasn't produced a RWD production car I'm aware off since, what, 75 years? I believe (but could be wrong) that the pictured '28-'37 Citroën Rosalie was the last, Citroën started championing FWD in 1934 with the Traction Avant.
