Sorry, was driving and wasn't able to get a picture of it. But I spotted one of these on the road Saturday.

At first I thought it was a Mitsubishi iMEV, but then I saw the chrome chevrons on the front. It appears what I saw was a Citroen-badged version of the iMEV called a C-Zero. I wonder why there was one over here?

I'm guessing it isn't 25 year old yet.

if it's the same as the iMEV... couldn't you just rebadge it?

Electric vehicles can be imported with fewer restrictions. Or it may have had manufacturer tags.

I was wondering the same thing myself - but it seemed like a lot of work with no clear purpose.

Maybe they feel it's less embarrassing if it's French.

Holy crap. I think my wife saw that same car in the downtown Atlanta area Sunday. We were driving back from camping in the mountains and she says "I think that was a Citreon. That white car. Did you see that?"

I didn't. We then discussed the 25 year rule and why there might possibly be an exception to it.

Very interesting.

EDIT - I forwarded my my wife a link to this thread. She says that's NOT the car she saw, that it looked more like a DS5 or DS6 based on the images in Google.

So...TWO white Citreons in the greater Atlanta area?
