The Survolt Concept from Citroen Is a Stunner

I really should have been born in France.

I love the French language.

I love French accents.

I love French decor, French food, French history, the French culture, and French wine.

There are an endless number of things I love about France, but more on the topic here, I love French cars and automakers.

So really, does it come as any surprise that I love not only Citroen in general, but also the new concept, the Survolt, in particular?

Even the picture of this car reeks of power. It is one of those vehicles that you can practically hear purring right through a photograph.

The auto market in India is definitely going to start the new year with a bang, thanks to the veritable wealth of concepts due to be unveiled at the Auto Expo 2010 that will take place in New Delhi.

One of the concepts slated for show is the Maruti Suzuki Concept R3, courtesy of Maruti Suzuki India Unlimited, which is said to be the leading company in car manufacturing in India.

In fact, the company will be revealing a number of different concepts at the expo. The R3 concept is special because it was created in house. Its theme — togetherness — also makes it special.

Succinctly, the vehicle is designed to be a neater, more compact kind of MPV. It is made to serve the family, to provide transportation that is not as bulky as many SUVs.

The Renault Twizy Z.E. Concept

For those of you who are thinking right now that you are looking at a toy car … sorry, no, that is just not the case. I kind of wish it was, it would make more sense.

This is actually the Renault Twizy Z.E. concept. Unveiled recently at the motor show in Frankfurt, it is touted as an innovative answer to the problem of urban mobility.

Manufacturers use words like “nimble” and “compact” — which, okay, they apply. But they also call the vehicle “practical,” and uh. Sorry, no. Maybe the driveability is practical, but the design makes it a bit of a joke, if you ask me.

I can’t even say much more about this vehicle, I simply can’t wrap my head around it.
