Reports surfaced earlier this week that Citroen was planning a new line of near-luxury cars with the iconic DS nameplate
. Late yesterday the company released a bunch of photos of the Citroen DS Inside concept, which will be in its booth at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show
. The DS Inside is about the size of a Mini Cooper Clubman
and it's a prologue to the Citroen DS3 production car. Larger DS4 and DS5 models will follow.
We've gathered the photos of the Citroen DS Inside here and there's no denying it looks cool, provided you like the recent crop of short, squat hatchbacks (anything from the Mini family, Fiat 500, Kia Soul) and provided you like cars that look French. We're not sure about the contrasting roof, though, as it makes Citroen's cribbing from the Mini Cooper look a bit too obvious.

I'm not a fan of this type of vehicle, but I think this isn't too bad, and it looks better than the Mini.

Looks cool. I love the MINI, but more premium small cars are always welcome!
