Citroen 2cv returns

[Hippea]

Citroen are bringing back the 2cv, they have just released some teasing photos. Looks strikingly retro, I like the idea of this.

Following the success of retro stuff like the Renault 5 remake! get the price and power (presume electric) right and it will sell.

Oh I’m looking forward to seeing this!

Superb.

Renault have hit on something with the 4 and 5 electric. Hope the 2CV is as good.

VW have missed a trick not having a GTi MK1 electric.

Oh no. The Mrs bought one brand new in 1984. Still got it

Oh fantastic, do you have any photos? (of the 2cv not the Mrs....)

100%

I'm currently loving all the retro BEV's coming out.

[Quhet]

I imagine this will be a mk1 Dacia Spring-alike to keep with the back to basics ethos of the original. Very interested to see how it turns out

[Jo-say8k]

It will probably be massive

[Jo-say8k]

It will probably be massive but the price looks affordable.

LOL it's rotting in the garden mate (the car not the missus). Still trying to convince her to sell the POS

Ah no that should be restored for the sentimental value alone

[SE2]

An ideal town car if the price is as low as they predict.

[Jader1973]

Damn.

Citroen exited Australia a few years ago. I wonder if I could privately import one somehow?

[Nickp82]

Sounds cool but think I’ll wait for the Ford Model T electric

[Sir Keith Stormer]

What has this site become?

Can I have a photo of your Mrs?

No she's rotting in the garden!

[Clad-Hach]

Oh I saw a proper one yesterday...it was painted matte grey, jacked up on chunky off road wheels and tyres, and I am sure it had a snorkel on it...it looked fabulous..!!!

When I was a kid in the 80's I used to wonder with amazement at every new car that was released - every one more exciting than the one before, each one making the old version seem instantly old fashioned. It's so sad that the only way we can get excited by a new car now is if it is a call back from 20, 30, 40 or 50 years ago - it's as if we have resigned ourselves to the fact that nothing new can be remotely interesting. If in 1986 a manufacturer produced a retro modern car from the 50s, everyone would have laughed and ignored it.

I'd love a new R5 or an electric 205 GTI or AX GT or whatever comes next but it's a sad state of affairs. Is there any other technology so depressingly unable to excite?

Really hope this is done well. Looking forward to seeing what they done.
