The 2CV is back - in name AND shape! First look at Citroën's £15k city car

It looks like an evil clown and doesn't have the charm of OG 2CV I still see around Tokyo.

Wonder if the beetle will return

Has returned twice already in the past 25 years and has been discontinued after couple years both times. Really don't think that VW will make the same mistake a third time.

It would go well alongside the [Id.Buzz](http://Id.Buzz) though

Can you imagine if they do it fwd and watercoled, with the same platform as the Golf? Also considerably more expensive than the original but all big and blobby, and with the stupid flower base just to see if they could sell it to women? That would be ridiculous

Sounds almost as ridiculous as taking said vehicle and putting the VR6 engine in it with AWD and a massive wing on the rear just so you can claim that the car isn't just for women.

They also just renamed it after the biggest terrorist attack in American history

Close, but that's the Porsche 901 that had to be renamed because Peugeot was upset that someone else used a number ending on ...01 for their car. The previous comment is a reference to the VW New Beetle RSI.

VW wouldn't be so silly. What would be mad is if they did that and then brought out a Mark 2...

Third time's the charm for too expensive and not sporty enough for the price?

The 2CV has been "back" for ages; they just call it the Ami now. We need another retro pastiche automobile paying homage to a bygone era as much as we need a fifth installment of the toy story.

Will it allow a farmer to drive across a plowed field with a basket of eggs?

This and the Spectre, is where EVs shine. The rest should all be hybrid for now, with the exception of Tesla. Plug-in hybrids don't need big batteries to exist as the Revuelto shows, so every hybrid should be plug-in. At least until EVs can be made profitably and sustainably. Otherwise they will be stuck in the situation they are now.

If it breaks down in the desert, can i rebuild it into a makeshift motorcycle?

Looks super fun, but I really dislike the new Citroen logo. It looks like some random Chinese knockoff of a Citroen.

Lo2NL@reddit

On the contrary! It’s a throwback to the original logo from 1919.

Okay but it's bad

ArthurFinchleyIII@reddit

Right but I bet it didn’t light up in 1919 did it? And that doesn’t change how cheap it looks

Yeah it is basically the same as their original logo. But maybe they could just use the chevrons without circling them like in the early cars?

The car will probably be a dressed up Leapmotor after all

Citroen saw Renault’s success with the 5,4 and Twingo EV and wanted a piece of the pie

I love it! I wish it or any Citroen would be released in the US.

I really like that, it looks fun. Not sure about the badge though I can't see it from space, it needs to be bigger.

Tbf it's about the same size as it was on [the original one](https://www.autopista.es/uploads/s1/11/55/62/25/2cv-1948_1_1000x575.jpeg)

This one looks like it lights up, though. Which makes it a lot worse.

PROfessorShred@reddit

Sure, but there is a way to do it that doesn't make it look like a clown nose.

Not_Daijoubu@reddit

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The old badge conforms to the contours of the grill but this new one juts out on its own plan, making it more conspicuous. Love the overall design except that badge lol.

I like this. Not crazy about the badge. I know it’s a throwback of sorts, but illuminated badges are just gaudy.

Think that's just Autocar's rendering, I highly doubt it can go through a rough field and not break any eggs.

Hey, Fiat, can you give me a 127 and Ritmo please and thanks seeing as Renault and your stablemate Citroen can do it. You can design stuff that isn't a 500 ya know. 😂😂😂😂
