Every time I see my photo of the new hatch back it brings to mind an old 70s vehicle which was award winning at the time; strangely Citroen was one of the partners on the prior hatchback engine. I think I'm losing it... or maybe lost it already...

 

That Citroen was introduced in the '50s and was produced for decades. No, no more resemblance between the two and many other cars.

I rode in one of those Citroens once in the '60s and was shocked at how smoothly it rode -- really smooth!!! Another way that there's no resemblance to a MINI, altho I don't mind how my MCS rides.

 

Oh, I see more resemblance than to most other cars; around the windshield and the raised areas coming from the head lights back to the wind shield. I also see it in the way the roof design flows backwards. Of course it isn't a copy but has some similar styling cues. It was a great vehicle and always loved to look at them.

 

I love those old Citroens, hope to have one sometime!

 

I would love to own a Citreon Ds and a Peugeot 504 cabriolet.

I have owned many Peugeots from 604 turbo to a 405 Mi16 and loved every one.
