Citroen has released pictures of a concept car which hints at its replacement for the Xsara Picasso compact MPV. The C-SportLounge will be formally unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, and as its name suggests, it's considerably sportier-looking than the egg-shaped Picasso. Based on the C4, and sharing a number of similar design features, it is aerodynamic and futuristic, though details such as the rear-hinged back doors are unlikely to make it into the production version. The show car features a one-piece driver's seat and centre console, a 'floating hub' steering wheel with fixed central controls, and a large sunroof.
