French Highlights
on the

.
Renault unveiled a major new generation of Clio V6 in a world
premiere at the 2002 Paris Motor Show. The latest concept car
Ellypse is on display alongside Kangoo Break'up, a concept car
based on Kangoo 4x4. The stars of the show are Mégane II Hatch
and Sport Hatch, paving the way for a complete renewal of the
Renault C-segment line, while Espace IV extends Renault's top of
the range.
This year's Paris Motor Show also sees a new Twingo collection
and an all-new 2.0 T engine plus a 2.2 dCi unit teamed with
automatic transmission on Laguna II. The Vel Satis brand
ambassador also gets a fuller range of safety and comfort
equipment.
Launched in 1984 and with over 870,000 vehicles produced to
date through a partnership between Matra Automobile and Renault,
Espace embodied a new relationship with the automobile right from
the start. Espace IV has inherited the expertise displayed
in Vel Satis and offers a new combination of MPV values and the
driving pleasure of a saloon. It's even more adaptable, with
customized comfort, an uncompromising level of safety and an
ergonomically designed cockpit .

| The Paris Motor Show gave Peugeot the opportunity to
display its creativity in design with new concept cars following
the presentation of the new 206 SW, 307 SW and 807 at Geneva, and
the eye-catching RC Spades and Diamonds.
The Concept Car Prométhée was introduced at the Paris Motor
Show 2000. It became, by virtue of its styling, the true pioneer
of the 307. This was confirmed in May 2001 by the launch of the
307 hatchback range, followed one year later by the appearance of
a new shape in the form of both SW and Estate versions. Today sees
the presentation of the concept car 3.7 cc which offers a
true Coupé, a real Cabriolet and a vehicle with four
standard-size seats, taking its place alongside the existing 307
models.
The fire engine christened H2O is two vehicles in one: a
demonstrator showing fuel cell technology and a concept vehicle
for fire fighting, which can be used for reconnaissance in urban
areas which are difficult for large vehicles to access.
Sésame is a vehicle in the B segment, at some 3.70 m
long. The focal aspect is two sliding side doors around which the
structure takes shape. Truly versatile, it is suitable for driving
around town and out on the main roads or motorways; it boasts four
individual seats which have extremely easy access. This car with
an ultra short bonnet has a glass roof finished with two metal
roof bars at the edges. The glass area is extensive and there is a
generous-sized windscreen. The design, with its dynamic front, is
similar to the most recent Peugeot vehicles.

With the C3 Pluriel, Citroën has taken a huge step
forward in the quest for the ideal car : o able to satisfy user needs
and requirements on a day-to-day basis, o adapting at will, o
reflecting a leisure-oriented lifestyle. The C3 Pluriel offers a host
of body configurations on a single C3.
With C-Airdream, a 2+2 coupé concept car, Citroën
continues to explore the language of styling. Flowing lines, clean
contours, sophisticated materials and plays of light take
passengers on a journey through the senses.
A harmony of slender proportions and fluid lines with an
underlying promise of power, C-Airdream expresses Citroën's
vision of sporting coupé design. The contemporary edge of
Citroën's design values can also be seen in the interior of
C-Airdream. Sculptured lines, contrasting colours, noble materials
and plays of light create a harmonious whole with immediate
appeal.
