Since last summer, we've been following only one new Citroen model that's earmarked to debut in the future, the one and only C4 Picasso (and the Gran Picasso). It's a good thing that the French have stuck with making MPV, since this is something they were always very good at.
But while we agreed with the new car in concept, it looked really strange covered in all that camouflage, like it was some sort of Chinese budget car out to save you money. In fact, Citroen has gone in the complete opposite direction, making the C4 Picasso as strange and as quintessentially "French" as possible.

The Spanish magazine Highmotor have managed to spot a group of completely undisguised Picassos, and they show some truly unique features. For example, the headlights are split in two now, a top and a bottom, with the top being made up exclusively of LEDs. The look is somewhat similar to that of the Nissan Juke, thogh the C4 still has some daytime running lights at the bottom.

Another standout feature is taillight design. For the sake of fairness, we're not going to call this a complete rip-off, but the similarity to Audi's design is striking (think R8). Down the side, the car looks quite tall, the most interesting element being the A-pillars, which have are spit in two be a large piece of glass that gives more visibility at junctions. The C4 Picasso has always had this feature, but it's positively huge on the latest model.

The fact that more than one car was spotted without camo suggests they took part in a photo shooting under the Spanish sun. If

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
