Fiat Sedici is the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it. Nice all the same.

I like the A Pillars design. The website seems to go out of it's way to make it difficult to look at the car.

For some reason it reminds me of the old Opel Agila

Yep - reminded me of that too - with a touch of Nissan Note.

I wonder how big the car is, and if it's actually based on the C4? the C3's been out for ages now, can't imagine they based it on that. could be related to the new Berlingo?

I presume the petrols with be from the BMW/PSA collaboration and the oil burners are the usual HDi affairs?

You would have to ask why though... it's not like any of these in MPVs have been a roaring sales success have they?

maybe not here, but on the continent there are quite a lot of Berlingo Multispace, Caddy Life, and similar vanny yokes. also you see a lot more Renault Modus etc than you do here.

Agreed - these kind of busses are lot more popular in other European countries.

A slightly better photo of the C3 Picasso:

Next generation C3 is being launched early next year afaik so the Picasso version is most likely based on that rather than the current C3 which has been around for about 5 years now. The next C3 will use the Peugeot 207 platform, the 3 door version will replace the C2.

Could be the basis for the new Berlingo van. VW did them same with the Touran/ Caddy a few years back.
