The windshield has been extended further into the roof, creating a pseudo sunroof and eschewing any rumors about a panoramic glass top. New chrome trim surrounds the grille and across the hatch, while the revised rear end features new tail lamps and a more bulbous back side. If you're seeing a few shades of the recently revealed <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/CitroenDS3/">Citroen DS3</a> concept, you aren't mistaken, as this new C3 takes several cues from the compact concept that debuted in Geneva.<br /><br />Speaking of the DS3, <em>Autocar</em> is reporting that development of the upcoming DS4 and DS5 is churning along, and both models will supposedly be high-riding crossovers influenced by the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/CSportlounge/">C-Sportlounge</a> concept and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/Hypnos/">Hypnos</a> concept, along with a roofline eerily reminiscent of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/BMWX6/">BMW X6</a>. The allure of coupe-like CUVs obviously isn't lost on the French, and we can expect one of the new crossover concepts to be revealed alongside the production CS3 in Frankfurt.<br /><br />[Sources: <a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/109062420128/new-citroen-c3-leaks-out-from-private-showing-for-dealers">WCF</a>, <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/240911/">Autocar</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/24/citroen-c3-leaks-out-ds4-and-ds5-details-surface/">Citroen C3 leaks out, DS4 and DS5 details surface</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:29:00 EST.
