Citroen have today issued a press release containing the first official pics of the DS3's bigger brother, the DS4.
The press release is here...

...and there are more pics (esp of the interior) on the Autocar website (www.autocar.co.uk)
Several design cues are carried over from the DS3 - eg the front grille & headlights, pronounced wheel arches and chrome detailing - and it looks much sharper than the new C4 on which it's based. The rear end is particularly stylish. The interior features cool blue instrument lighting and a leather-finished dash. If I were in the market for a bigger car, I'd want to give it a very close look.
It will be interesting to compare it in the metal with a Guilietta. They both make the Golf look like a milk-float, imho, and should give the new Focus a run for its money.
It's really good to see Citroen on the up, after so many years producing humdrum cars with no character or soul. I still hanker for the cutting-edge technological innovation that Citroen were once renowned for, but in the absence of that, a healthy dose of distinctive style will do for now.
The fact that so many owners on this site feel really positively about their DS3s, and enjoy the buzz they get from owning and driving them, shows that Citroen are heading in the right direction at last.
Vive la difference!
