Revolte?
That design is most definately revolting!
Citroën has joined VW in proclaiming the redesign of an iconic model as a leccy concept for tomorrow, which - in this case – is the 2CV. Revolte Citroën's Revolte harks back to 2CV days The hybrid Revolte e-car is powered by “a small-capacity conventional combustion engine combined with an electric motor and a battery re- …
Who in their right minds would buy a car called "Revolte"?
The word's too similar to Revolt (to rebel against authority - 'leccy cars are hardly revolutionary!), which in itself is too similar to Revolting (disgusting).
Never mind the apparent concept of suicide doors with no central pillar - doesn't exactly inspire feelings of safety...
That thing couldn't look more feminine if it was ultra absorbant with an easy applicator.
Clever marketing though. If you want to sell something that's bound to have so little accelleration it should be banned from motorways and uinrestricted A roads then you are best off appealing to the market sector with the least knowlege of how a car actually works.
This is definately aimed at the "what car have you got? "A pink one" sector.
As a 2cv driver i am bloody revolted by that pile of purple Shite !!!!
The idea behind the 2cv was its simplicity, which is not something you can duplicate in a modern car
Wtf is that front grill all about it looks more like its off a bloody jag ....
Well let it be said if i ever see one of these if they ever make it to production i will most likley be giving them the finger as i drive past .. and I will do my best to make sure they are not welcome at 2cv meets !!!!!
Much better modern redisgn of the 2cv (prolly done by some student)

Stuff a couple of ripe camemberts down your pants before nestling your 'tush' in those seats.
You also may want to wear a couple of camemberts 'princess leia style' to avoid head injuries from the evil-throne headrest.
If life gives you Citro(e)ns make Citronade ...
We're Citroen. We made the DS - one of the best looking cars of all time, which still looks futuristic today. Collectors covet them and they still turn heads wherever they're seen. We also made the 2CV. Which one shall we revive? I know, let's bring back the butt-ugly corrugated-iron pram.
FAIL coz it should have been a gorgeous 'leccy DS as George Jetson (and aManFromMars too, for all I know) would have driven.
First off I'm a Beetle nut and not into 2CVs...
but the original 2CV was made for french peasants and was designed to be easily repairable (ie you black monder could make replacement parts)... it was made to be used by farmers and that sort of people - it I also remember correct Porsche helped design the engine but this maybe myth...
Anyway this car doesn't seem to have any of it's original design trates.

PS wonder if Citroen will redesign the Amiy 4 and 8. Personally I don't understand why car manufacturers do this with their original designs, the original Beetle was iconic for it's original design (both car and engine) but the new Beetles are based around the Golf and share none of the design other than they look kinda similar - I'm not expecting a new air cooled Beetle but why bother with the same name especially if it's just a poor copy??
Is it just me, or does the whole design look like a Mazda RX-8 squished lengthwise by about a quarter? We have suicide doors. We have a front grille that's identical to the Mazda. We have the bonnet curve. We have swoopy interior and seats. In fact, let's face it, we have the same car.
Except that where the RX-8 goes like shit, the Revolte simply *is* shit.
