Citroen C3 at 2009 Frankfurt motor show

By Ben Pulman First Official Pictures 29 June 2009 00:01 These are the first pictures of Citroen's new C3 supermini, a funky five-door that the French company hopes will steal sales from potential Ford Fiesta, VW Polo and Renault Clio customers. And in three-door form it will become the DS3, as Citroen's tries to take itself up-market and appeal to Mini buyers. Citroen started to design cool cars again when it penned the C4, but it’s been the recent C3 Picasso that has really captured the automotive industry’s attention.

Fiat 500L five-door spotted

Autoweek spotted this manufacturer-plated Fiat 500L earlier this week on the streets of suburban Detroit. With its round headlights and cheerful grille, the five-door hatchback's resemblance to its three-door cousin is apparent even under its coat of liberally applied camouflage. While the 500L and the smaller 500 models share similar styling cues, the subcompact hatch is not just a slightly stretched 500 with two extra doors.

Alluring Alfa Romeo falls far short of its promise

Few names can match the allure of Alfa Romeo. The sporty Italian brand is all about swooping lines, intoxicating engine noise, nimble road manners and the sexiest grille around. Alfa Romeo should be a bright Italian alternative to, say, Audi that stands out from the silver-gray herd of German luxury machines.
