I like the 2CV. I’d want proper seats with headrests in mine for when a 3 tonne SUV rams into the back of it :lol:

Obviously without the silly interior, but that 2CV looks like a great idea. I can imagine having one for scooting around town. :)

Love the 2CV and I like the rear of the 205 T16.

Is the 2CV basically a rebodied Ami?

Proper range so probably not Ami-based.
Yeah, I'd like some head rests please.

Love how the 'cv' of the logo is a 2 on its side.

We're bringing back whiplash, this woke safety nonsense is ruining everything.

Didn't have headrests in the back when I was a kid and we turned out fine

Peugeot would be daft not to make a wee ev that looks like a 205 imo.

It's designed as a car rather than a quadracycle so hopefully pretty usable as second vehicle or city car.

I think it looks fab and very practical if it had a less photogenic coloured interior lol

It’s just an ugly little hatchback with a concept interior to me. At best it’s another “new beetle” for rich parents to buy for their 17 year old daughters, but i don’t think the look is strong enough to pull that off imo.

i do love the logo though!

They're already making an attempt to do so with the e-208 GTI that launched recently. Need to go more all-in like Renault did with the R5 though, and by doing a half-assed job first they may have ruined their chances of doing it right successfully.

I like the 2CV, I saw it was to be £15k not sub 13, but it looks fab.

Having said that, we looked at a Cactus as they looked funky and it felt really very cheaply made and we bought the Yeti instead.

I prefer the R5 and the R4 as well. :D

I like the 4, 5 and twingo a lot, but think the 2cv looks a bit crap. Like a cheap knockoff playmobile toy 2cv ( before they started licensing actual manufacturers) but in a bad way. And I usually like cheap utilitarian cars.
