Très Bien: French Magazine Captures New Citroen DS9 Undisguised
http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/tr ... s-new.html
Another day, another set of photos of Citroen's new DS concept model. Only this time, French car magazine Automobile managed to snag the DS study without a hint of camouflage, not that it was difficult as Citroen was photographing the new car at the Place de la Concorde, which is one of the best-known public squares in Paris, France.
The French magazine tells us that the concept will most likely carry the DS9 moniker and that it will be revealed in a few days ahead of its world premiere at next month's 2012 Beijing Motor Show.
While its overall design does resemble the Metropolis Concept that was shown at the 2012 Shanghai Auto Show, instead of a the new DS study proposes a less swoopier fastback body style in the tradition of large CitroĂŤns such as the original DS as well as the more modern CX, XM and C6.
We still don't know what Citroen's plans are for the concept, but the company has said that it wants to expand the current DS lineup with a larger and more premium model.

Citroen DS9 heading for Beijing and production in China
This is the new Citroen DS9 shooting brake concept during a photo shoot in Paris. The DS9 previews Citroen’s new DS-flagship and will officially debut at the Beijing Auto Show next month. Design is based on the Citroen Metropolis concept sedan that debuted at the Shanghai World Expo back in 2010.
The Citroen DS9 will be made in China by the new ‘CAPSA’ Chang’an-PSA joint venture, the same jv will also make the DS3 and DS5. Production however of those cars won’t start before mid 2013. The DG9 still seems very much a concept car and production seems still years away. When it finally happens the DS9 has to compete with other locally made executive car such as the Audi A6L, the BMW 5Li, the Benz 300L and the Volvo S80L.
What powers this concept is yet unknown, the Metropolis was powered by a fancy V8 Hybrid. Downsizing is da word so maybe this DS9 gets some V6 clean-hybrid-thing, the final production version will then get standard patrol 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines.
