2012 Citroen DS9 Preview

Citroen is a major French automobile manufacturer which has long been in the shadows of Germans. This reason for this is that the cars manufactured by them are not reliable and are not good to drive. But now the French automaker wants to take things rather seriously and that is the reason they are coming up with their new luxury car, the DS9.

The new 2012 Citroen DS9 is heavily based on the Metropolis concept and is also known as Citroen Metropolis DS9. The idea behind DS9 is to come up in the market and take on the major luxury giants such as Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Jaguar XJ.

There is one other major factor that forces Citroen to come up with this new machine. Citroen is planning to enter into the Asian market with DS9. This car is designed in China at the company’s Shanghai based design team. This was first developed in May, 2010. With this new machine Citroen hopes to show the Chinese buyers that they are not behind to compete with their German competitors.
