Look! It even has a handle!!

Over the next few days I will be highlighting several new and concept cars shown at the Paris Autoshow. I will probably jump around and show several different types and price points through the week. I am starting with this new pocket car from Citroen called the Lacoste. Small, sporty, cute and economical.

Citroen Metropolis Hybrid

When I think of Citroen I typically imagine a unique, somewhat quirky european design. If you add Hybrid to the discussion you might think ridiculously small euro-city car that can park sideways in a three foot gap on the curb. Not so... This car was unveiled to, and designed in, the newly emerging Chinese luxury car market.They mention numbers like 94 MPG and 454 HP which, I agree with the article, must be pure fabrications from fantasy. Concept cars that will never be produced sometimes stretch the truth a little ;)
