Rumormill: Citroën planning new subcompact minivan
French magazine Autoplus has published pictures of what the new subcompact van from Citroën might look like. Currently, Citroën offers three people-movers: the large, eight-passenger C8, the Xsara Picasso and the recent C4 Picasso (in both short- and long-wheelbase versions).
Citroën is adding a new member to the minivan family which should measure in at under 4 meters. The new model, due in late 2009, is going to be built on the Citroën C3/Peugeot 207/Citroën Nemo platform. It will share components with the quite-unsuccessful Peugeot 1007 (pictured above) and will compete directly with the Renault Modus. Expect the whole array of PSA's HDI engines to power the model.

Wow that's a lot of work to get into a car. The sliders only make sence on a rear set of doors.

Looks like the perverse spawn of an AMC Pacer and a Gremlin.

What's the point? Is it really even a van, or does it just have siding doors?
