Lancia Ypsilon
A car that seduces through sheer good looks and
elegance. A car that sets new standards of luxury and class in the
compact car category. Meet the new Lancia Ypsilon, heir to a
successful model that has won the hearts of more than 1,800,000
European customers since 1985.
The new
car represents the state of the art in the exclusive compact car
segment. It is designed for sophisticated customers who are on a
constant quest for unique products, who love to stand out in a crowd
and seek the satisfaction of driving a car above all.

Lancia Fulvia
Priority was to be given to a fresh, dynamic shape
without losing sight of the intrinsic spirit that made the Fulvia,
designed by Castagnero in 1965, an ultra-sophisticated mix of
eccentricity, elegance, clean aesthetic lines and sportiness. An
absolutely up-to-date coupé, in other words. A car that offered an
opportunity to explore aesthetic and engineering solutions that could
be used on future Lancia products but also carried great evocative
weight for people who lusted after and dreamed of the car in its
heyday.
The
dimensions and three-box shape of the Fulvia Coupé show car are
practically identical to those of its predecessor but the track has
been broadened to give the car greater stability and strength. The
general layout is reminiscent of Riva motorboats of the period, i.e. a
truncated tail, an extremely dynamic shape and a furrowing prow.

Kia Piccanto
As an entry-level vehicle, the Picanto is a very
compelling buy for young, style-conscious consumers. A modern, highly
individual choice, the Picanto is equally at home on the daily run to
work as on the week-end run to the sports field. The Picanto’s fuel
economy, and particularly its class-leading CO2 figures, reflect the
push toward leaner, greener vehicles while its versatile seating
configuration make it adaptable to just about any situation. A diesel
version of the vehicle will be released in 2005, increasing the appeal
of the vehicle still further.
The car is available in a four or five
seat version. That means it will comfortably sit a whole basketball team
or almost half a football side. Sporting 157 litres of luggage space
with the rear seats up, the Picanto also leaves plenty of room for kit
bags.
Kia KCV 3
Designed at the Namyang R&D Centre,
the research hub the company shares with sister company Hyundai Motor,
the KCV-III is a small coupe convertible that showcases the
best-of-breed technologies that Kia will be incorporating in its future
line-up
Aimed at customers aged between 20 and
30, the KCV-III plays very much to Kia’s appeal to the Y-generation.
Generation Y – young consumers born between 1977 and 1994 – is the
successor to Generation X. |

Citroen C-Airlounge Concept
Demonstrating its innovative talent once more, Citroën
has developed a new concept: C-Airlounge.
C-Airlounge combines volume and modular design with fluid, dynamic
styling. A fact illustrated by the vehicle’s design lines: advanced
aerodynamics, generously curved bodywork and large-diameter tyres.
The
sophisticated high-tech interior can accommodate four or five passengers
in comfort. Optic fibres and video projectors in the furnishings let
passengers choose an interior design scheme for their journey. C-Airlounge
is also equipped with a complete multimedia system to offer a range of
features never before seen in the automotive industry.
Citroen C2
Designed to carry four people in comfort, the 3-door C2
rounds out Citroën’s compact vehicle range, alongside the C3 and the C3
Pluriel. It combines original styling with a strong personality, a
modular interior design and innovative boot access. The C2 also has all
the qualities of the C3: roadholding, safety and a generous array of
equipment, worthy of cars further up the market. |
