PARIS — Citroen has released images of its updated C4 Picasso and long-wheelbase Grand C4 Picasso, ahead of the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The European family haulers go on sale later this year.
The five-passenger C4 Picasso and seven-passenger Grand C4 Picasso face-lift includes revised front-end styling, with LED daytime running lights and a new corporate logo in the grille.
Citroen says all manual-transmission models will come with intelligent traction control as standard equipment.
The company is also offering frugal HDi turbodiesel engines with lower emissions and fuel consumption, thanks to the adaptation of stop/start technology and other green features.
Prices in Europe will start at just over $24,000.

I drove a Picasso is Germany this past May. Good A to B transportation. But not my kind of transport for the Autobahn. The rental company had a Kia as an alternative. Guess I should have taken the Kia.
the Picass got a little scary at 160 km/ph but still had enough to go faster. Keep the Citroens in Europe, too weird in too many ways to get many sales in North America.

This two auto model are great. We can use it in many fields like family car or bussiness car.

That little minivan has a huge front overhang. The more I look at it, the more I like the slow-selling Mazda5. Are sliding side doors only popular in the North American market?

Yes we are the minority for wanting the French back in the US.

At a time when most manufacturers seem to be waging a war on driver visibility, Citroen seems to be improving on it and making the interior more airy for passengers as well. The C4 Picasso line seems almost a polar opposite to something like an SRX view under this metric.
I may be in the minority, but I really like this vehicle (C4 Picasso) and would love for all Citroens to come ot the US. Sadly, they would probably fail as most seem to want to "feel" safe inside their cocoon.
