Citroën C4 – 2006 World Car Design of the Year

 

Citroën’s popular C4 has been voted 2006 World Car Design of the Year, at the New York International Auto Show, in acknowledgement of the way it has helped to push the established boundaries of innovation and style.

 

From a shortlist of 27 vehicles, the judging panel of The World Car of the Year Awards in Manhattan gave the Citroën C4 top honours, ahead of the BMW 3-Series and the Honda Civic.

 

Key to its success was the innovation that Citroën has displayed in creating a design that enabled two distinct body styles, coupé and 5-door, to be built on the same platform. The model’s aerodynamics, which the Award’s organisers recognised as a traditional cornerstone of Citroën’s character, also played a role.

 

The C4’s interior also captured the imagination of the judging panel with the debut of Citroën’s innovative fixed hub steering wheel.

 

This major International Award complements a long list of accolades that the C4 has already received, including Best hatchback from both Top Gear and Diesel Car magazines as well as British Car of the Year from Auto Express readers. It has also won a brace of awards in the British Insurance Car Security Awards.

 

And this world-beating design is available today in the UK from just £9,695 for the C4 1.4i 16v VT Coupé, thanks to the Company’s current cashback offer, which also provides savings of up to £2,200.

C4 is a great car not hard to see why it won.

 

An compared to the new 3 series which could not be any duller its gonna come out well. The new civic though i just dont like it the massive lights at the front and back and the wierd rear window annoy me the interior is quite nice though.

So i did make the right decision then... :D

Honda Civic...I thought Mr May from Top Gear summed it up well. "A Dreary four pot from Swindon"..... :P :D I too dont think much of the very Plastic Front and rear end of the Civic.....Plastic Trophy cabinets.... :)

I really liked the Civic when i first saw it but im sorta of going off it. Looks sorta like a normal hatchback with lots of plastic lights all over it. I do like the interior though.

lets hope they make the most of it with some fresh advertising campains tag it onto the end of the skating transformer.As for the civic mixed feelings dont mind the shape although it has not recieved the best write ups but more worrying is the uk manufacturing issue, They need to sell to keep the plant open and the swindon guys in work as all manufacturers are waiting to pull the plug at the slightest thing just like rover, pug/citroen,tvr,vauxhall etc:( .......................
