• Citroen C3 Pluriel

The C3 Pluriel is directly inspired by the "Pluriel demonstration vehicle", a concept car presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1999 and in Geneva and Paris in 2000. This highly original vehicle heralded a new phase in modular vehicle design. This concept has now become a reality. Citroën has developed the technical solutions necessary to offer a host of body configurations on the same vehicle.

With the C3 Pluriel, Citroën has taken a huge step forward in the quest for the ideal car : o able to satisfy user needs and requirements on a day-to-day basis, o adapting at will, o reflecting a leisure-oriented lifestyle. The C3 Pluriel offers a host of body configurations on a single C3.

• Citroen C-Airdream Concept

With C-Airdream, a 2+2 coupé concept car, Citroën continues to explore the language of styling. Flowing lines, clean contours, sophisticated materials and plays of light take passengers on a journey through the senses.

A harmony of slender proportions and fluid lines with an underlying promise of power, C-Airdream expresses Citroën's vision of sporting coupé design. The contemporary edge of Citroën's design values can also be seen in the interior of C-Airdream. Sculptured lines, contrasting colours, noble materials and plays of light create a harmonious whole with immediate appeal.

Because the Fiat Stilo SW is still a Stilo and, like the saloon, is self-evidently a no-nonsense good-looking car with stacks of personality and attributes that are now permanently encoded in the DNA of any Fiat: innovative design, cutting-edge technology available to all and clever solutions to make life simpler and better.
