Citroen Numero 9 Concept
Wednesday, May 09, 2012

Take a look at the video below from Citroen, which is showing off their Numero 9 concept car at this year's Beijing Auto Show.   Quite impressive if you ask me, although I am a bit skeptical of these "sport brake" type cars (or as they call them here in the United States, station wagons).   I can see it being a huge hit in Europe, but in the United States it wouldn't go over well.    A few years ago Dodge created the Magnum, a so-called "performance station wagon" which was never really a "performance" vehicle, and, thanks to their German overlords at the time (Mercedez) had the cheapest interior materials you've ever seen in a Dodge. Also, as I recall from my one time driving it, it was quite a horrible ride!

However, I think there is a market for these kinds of futuristic vehicles, and the Numero 9 has that sci-fi feel to it.   I like it!
